A male prison inmate on cleaning
duty attacked and tried to kiss a female guard in the jail
laundry earlier this week, the SAPP warders' union said
Thursday.
The incident happened in Trento jail in the far north of Italy.
"Our colleague, understandably in shock, went through an
incredible and crazy experience," said SAPP provincial chief
Massimiliano Rosa.
He called for security to be tightened at all departments in the
jail.
"The prisoner, a foreigner, attacked the guard while she was
bending down to take laundry form the basket, brazenly seized
her by the arm, dragged her towards himself and tried to kiss
her," said Rosa.
"The colleague managed to wriggle out of his grasp and get
away."
The SAPP official called for a security guard to be posted to
the laundry and other places in the prison where inmates perform
work duties.
