Don Piersandro Spriano Casale is a priest, ordained by Mgr. Angrisani in 1965, assistant pastor at first and then Occimiano Addolorata. In 1969 he moved to Rome where he obtained a degree in Psychology at the Pontifical Salesian University. He lives in a village parish, where he meets the poverty and social exclusion. After completing the course he stays. He soon comes to Rebibbia as chaplain, who became his mission in, to provide comfort to many victims of a society that is more convenient to expel the weaker rather than help them, out, to give shelter and promote the integration into society and work to those who leave from that terrible hell. Don Sandy is no stranger to bold action, never loud, but specific and targeted to bring the fate of the prison. He has participated in many television series, which addressed the issues of exclusion extreme, that in fact the prison. Shortly before mid-August, whereas in many Italian prisons had committed an outcry because of the difficult living conditions inside the cells, which are aggravated by hot weather and a chronic overcrowding, gave an interview to Vatican Radio. "The dramatic situation of the Italian prisons has been dragging on for too long without anyone's efforts to put an address seriously - Said Don Sandro - is not serious than the numbers alone, is serious because you do not take decisions of any kind with respect to the ordinary everyday life of these 64 000 people. You pretend it does not exist and then there is no money to do anything, they lack the operators to make some recovery activities. " According to data from the Italian Ministry of Justice, detainees are currently on Italian soil around 63,771 to 43,327 seats against regulations. A few days before Don Sandro had put pen to paper and sent a letter to Pope to denounce the poor conditions in which they live thousands of prisoners and ask Benedict XVI to visit the penitentiary's busiest capital. "There are 1,600 prisoners, four in two-cell, eight in those four" he writes. And he called through the bars to celebrate the Mass of August, with an appeal: "Do not forget us." On the security policy of the government carried out, said Don Spriano: "I would now appear safe as possible means to put people in jail, all those who somehow bother to free society . There were things that were not penalized crimes first - Added - This is not from my point of view of 'security', if not apparent, because these people then - because there are no means, there are no human resources - are in no way helped them to rethink their past and to be able to return to society!. No one asks 'how' back: this is a false security! " said. Regarding the new plan-prisons, which should go to the Council of Ministers by September 15, announced in recent days by Justice Minister Angelino Alfano, who has applied for EU funds for the construction of new buildings, the chaplain spoke of 'a measure which does not contradict anything to build prisons, we all know, it takes years and years, we have already built and are there as monuments useless, because then there is money to fill the prisons of the structures needed to fill the prisons of custodial staff, operators of treatment, ect. So, if you put hand to the Criminal Code, the decriminalization of crimes, not to imagine that everything has to simply be 'punished' with the prison, I think we can build 100 per year and will not resolve the problem. " According to the priest, "most of the detainees are currently in a state of apathy because understand that you do not want to go anywhere if you do not just inmates. I would ask us to free citizens, and then we Christians try to open our thinking to accommodate these people when - for example - come. " "For - he concluded - most of those leaving are almost automatically forced back to prison because they no longer find any kind of welcome by anyone."
