(ANSA) - PALERMO, APRIL 24 - There are no doubts for the judge: in times of coronavirus, better custody in prison than other milder forms of detention, because the disadvantageous conditions and the economic crisis can "act as a further criminal" . The investigating magistrate Marco Gaeta wrote in the order that brought four young men to the cell accused of the murder of MikeMepa, the elderly man killed last September in Terrasini (Pa) in the course of a robbery. "The current social conditions - writes the magistrate - and economic tears, which together with the health sector are crossing Sicily as well as the entire country, can act as a further and immediate criminal trigger, so that the timely adoption of precautionary protection is required".
The position of the investigating magistrate is opposite to that of those seeking to reduce the number of prisoners precisely because of the health emergency and the risk of contagion in prison.
Gip, health emergency? Better prison
