ROME - Seven prisoners have died as riots spread through crowded jails across Italy over measures imposed to contain the coronavirus.
Justice Minister Alfonso Bonafede said the government was open to discussing prison conditions but the rebellions had to stop. Some died from overdoses of drugs they had stolen from prison clinics, a justice ministry source said, without giving details on what had caused the other fatalities. Inmates revolted in Milan’s San Vittore prison, taking to the roof and unfurling a banner demanding a general pardon.On Sicily, inmates rebelled at Palermo’s Ucciardone prison, which houses some Mafia convicts, but guards managed to regain control, officials said.
