narrow horizon (ASCA) Pescara: a pilot project will use 4 held for the maintenance of public green "For the six months' municipal administration of Pescara will offer a real chance to get back into the work of four young people who have made a mistake and that are paying their debt to justice them trained in the field of urban maintenance and then allow them to learn on the field to perform minor repairs roads and ensure the management of the green. After six months of the 4 boys will have a statement about the level of professionalism achieved that will allow them, after returning to freedom, to find a job.
mustard is the project sponsored by the City of Pescara in partnership with the Caritas Foundation and the director of our House District, a pilot project which, when will the results we expect, we are ready to repeat. " Said the Councillor for Public Works of the City of Pescara Alfredo D'Ercole in today's press conference to present the initiative, in the presence, among others, His Excellency, the Archbishop of Pescara Monsignor Tommaso Valentinetti, director of Caritas Don Marco Pagniello and the prison director Franco Pettinella.
"The goal of the pilot project is surely double - D'Ercole said the commissioner - on the one hand increase the work of public utility operations and maintenance for the urban core, which means that large construction projects to upgrade, but rather the closure of small potholes, the restoration of a sign or signs, or the arrangement of a bumpy tile, on the other use such maintenance not only as an opportunity for urban redevelopment of the city, but also as an opportunity for social rehabilitation of disadvantaged people by involving prisoners and even over-50 citizens who have lost their jobs.
The project is divided into two distinct phases: we will start in September involving four detainees in small work on the maintenance of urban green spaces, for a period of two months. At the end of October will start the second project called "mustard" that will have two months of training on construction work taking place within the home district and will be furnished by Formedil, addressed to the same four inmates identified, immediately after the workers formats will work for another two months for the city of Pescara to put into practice the concepts learned and make those small maintenance jobs that give the sign of the care of a city, but it is often difficult to enforce the undertakings, as the arrangement of tile flooring in a few betonella, or rehabilitation of a road or even the closure of a small hole. "
The Foundation will provide the teams, in addition to the four inmates in restorative justice, see also the presence of 4 workers and foremen 8 volunteers, or over-50 workers in terms of socio-economic status, who have lost their jobs, "which - continued Councillor D'Ercole - will not receive pay proper, but a bonus. Overall, the pilot project will cost 20 thousand euro. " "The project - said the archbishop Valentinetti - is the result of the synergy between the City of Pescara, Caritas and the prison, a synergy that will give good results. The forces must be united to ensure the recovery of disadvantaged people who for various reasons are unable to enter the labor market. What today is the first step, the first task, with the hope that this initiative can continue. "

(La Stampa) Drunk on bike, ends up under house arrest; escapes to buy salami: it is now in prison Massimo Gramellini
Enrichetto 55 years old and a child's heart. Rides his bike, summer and winter, hidden under a hat with the tail that children enjoy a real pull. One day when pedaling too zig-zag is stopped for driving under the influence of alcohol. Two months under house arrest, as one of the crack. Riquet. He is even fine, just did not take away his dog and his hat. One morning he gets up with the idea of \u200b\u200ba sausage. Remember seeing him in the window of a butcher, before his arrest, I wonder if there's more. Goes out to check. A neighbor who is self assigned the task to guard intercepts through the peephole and alert the police. Alarm, the prisoner has escaped! Riquet back home with salami, very glad, but the door is the guards. Now lies the prison infirmary Asti Quarto. Discard food, like someone who is leaving to die. Its not a protest. It is the melancholy that has failed. He knows that in September they will condemn him to escape and he does not seem right, here. Everything that once rose to the bike a bit 'tipsy and once left home to buy a sausage.
Please Riquet, begins to eat. I promise that one day establish a republic of common sense, where the laws will no longer be the plaything of the powerful and the pitfalls of the simple. And if some judge in the meantime shut an eye on your heinous crimes at home are a dog, a hat and a salami waiting for you to celebrate.
Alfano involvement promises to "case Riquet"
Donadi go to prison tomorrow Asti because "you can not ignore the fact that the Italian prisons are full of people like" Riquet "and that, however, important and powerful men, who have committed serious crimes, they always manage to escape. A manifest injustice of a State may not always be fair and just. " Instead
"a poor risk as Riquet with the death in prison for a sausage and people like the prisoner Balducci, head of the alleged gang, made merry to house arrest in his villa with pool in Montepulciano. A truly democratic country - Donadi notes - must have the courage to slam the crack offenders in jail, and maybe throw away the key, but it is an act of cowardice to detain people as Riquet.
Alfano is now speaking in the House explaining that he was in turn affected by the case. A story brought to the attention of the piece from the July 31 in which Massimo Gramellini speaks of the man under house arrest for driving under the influence of bike and now you are leaving a sausage to die for, as this would be the motive for the avoidance from home.
"Already concerned offices," assures Alfano, because "assess whether the situation which would allow the intervention of the Ministry of Justice. " "The Minister of Justice in this matter states that" the line of gravity is the point of view of a part of Article 27 of the Constitution, all too often overlooked. Not that the rehabilitative function of punishment but one for which the punishment can not be contrary to human dignity. " And this looks even Alfano, "I had appeared immediately visible and for that I had activated".
