An inmate reports: 'Beated in his cell by prison officers' - News. An investigation into injuries was opened by the Venice Public Prosecutor's Office.
The 23-year-old, originally from Eastern Europe, was transferred from Venice to the Veronese Montorio prison. Doctors found his serious condition - he also had internal bleeding - ordering his emergency admission to hospital. The young man's lawyer, Anna Osti, told Corriere Veneto that the young man is still hospitalized in Verona because health workers believe he is too fragile to be sent back to prison.
