Between Terni, Perugia, Orvieto and Spoleto, Indeed, They live behind bars 1.369 sentenced for various reasons. The places officially available would be 1.331, so there's a little’ of overcrowding. The thing is, gods 1.369 criminals in cell, il 38% he's not Italian. It's about 518 foreigners who, theoretically – say the FdI deputies – they could pay their debt to justice elsewhere. Maybe at their house.
“Two fifths of the inmates present in the penitentiary institutions of our region – the deputies explain in a note – they come from abroad: more precisely there are 249 foreigners in Capanne, 121 in Vocabolo Sabbione, 91 in Maiano e 57 in the Icat of Orvieto”. Not that in the rest of Italy the refrain changes. In the national territory on 58.759 prisoners present in institutions penitentiaries (given to 30 June), ben 19.868 they are immigrants.
The question is simple: “How much do they cost us?”, they ask themselves Priscus e Zaffini. Doing the math isn't that easy. But for the deputies “the average daily cost of an inmate – they say – super i 300 euro. Along with food and accommodation, the costs of maintaining the prisons must be paid, salaries of prison officers, the maintenance of increasingly obsolete vehicles used for stocks and translations, therefore healthcare costs (drugs, specialist visits and methadone supplies), to which are added professional figures such as, among others, educators and psychologists”.
In total, only for Umbria, they would go further 155 thousand euros a day, that is to say 4,6 million per month e 56 million euros every year. Il Ministry of Justice for penitentiary administration in 2018 plans to spend 2,7 billions of euros. Within this figure there are the costs for the structures, for prisoners and staff (as well as other minor expense items). The Umbrian deputies took every single expense item into account. But transporting everything nationally, and doing the calculations only on food, I am natural, transportation and other direct costs, Italy spends more in total 223 million euros. That is to say 3.802 euros per year for each inmate. Therefore immigrant criminals weigh on the state budget for more than that 75 million euros. A bloodletting.
“A very high and unsustainable expense considering Italy's budget – Prisco and Zaffini write in the note -. We save to invest resources in prison police equipment and security”. The solution would be theoretically simple: have foreign prisoners serve their sentences in their countries of origin. But there's a problem: “Bilateral agreements must be reviewed and increased to immediately transfer convicted foreigners even when consent is not given”.
Who knows if the Minister of the Interior Salvini will do so, given that today “the number of inmates actually repatriated is much lower than the number of expulsion measures approved”. An appeal to the supervisory court is enough and the law is easily circumvented. Pantalone pays that much.
