Prison suicides: letter to the next

Stories and News No. 233 As all of you, reading the news, there are some that strike me more than others. One of these is certainly on the suicides of detainees. I do not want to talk about the bad conditions in the prisons, nonetheless it deserved much more than a single post. I read that yesterday an only twenty-two years old guy cut his life. It seems to be the 45th prisoner in Italy to kill himself since the beginning of the year. According to the Ristretti site, over the past ten years in my country almost 1,700 prisoners died, more than 1/3 with suicide; that means more than 500 and less than 600. The aspect that most impresses me and makes me think at the same time is thinking of someone who is already paying by imprisonment for actions that society has considered illegal and that individually decides to condemn himself the death penalty. As if the arrest, the trial and the subsequent incarceration were not enough. As if only death was able to pay the bill. Of course, I am ta...

The prison suicide

Stories and News No. 64 The Story: Forgive me. No… try to understand me. I could not longer live like this. Then, live is a big word, a huge, unbelievably huge word. Survive too would be inappropriate. Life means time and where I am there is no idea of time, despite what they say on television. How many stories they told you about me, how many lies they showed you, disguising them as half-truths… They convinced you that my main problem is the space that is never enough, that the nature of my conviction is anyway right, because the punishment that was imposed on me is part of a destiny which I chose by myself. They have also persuaded you that my isolation is essential for your safety. In other words, once again they have sold you the illusion that this time too everything has been done for your wellness. Obviously, they omitted a small but very significant aspect: any of you at any time, could be at my place. Then maybe you would see things in a different light, until...

Stories and News No. 30: Let me go out, I am innocent

The Story : My name is John and I am innocent. As Thaddeus Jimenez, I also have been unjustly arrested. Like him, I was imprisoned for a crime that I did not commit. I live in the United States too, the land that many define the most important democracy in the world. Similarly to that man, a day of many years ago a policeman put on me two handcuffs and made me get on his car. In the same way I did everything to convince him that he had made a mistake, but it was totally superfluous. Just like his case, at the time of the trial many witnesses came out, perfectly sure of my guilt, beyond a reasonable doubt. With the same speed, the judge issued the worst sentence and I was transferred to a prison together with many real culprits and numerous innocent people like myself. As that wretch man, I had to manage the unspeakable anger that was burning my stomach for the unfairness, the infinite sorrow for my unjust fate, the unacceptable hatred for God or whom have allowed such violence. However...
