Dap report: positive 3,287 prisoners and 1,670 agents and prison staff

There are 3,287 inmates positive for Covid-19, 1,590 prison police officers and 80 administrative staff. These are the numbers of the pandemic behind bars, those published in the Dap report on emergency management updated to 20 January. Three days earlier the numbers were decidedly lower: 662 more infected inmates, while fewer policemen and staff of the institutions became ill, just 24 more in the same period of time. To hold the black jersey among the prisons of Italy is the Turin prison which, data in hand, counts 203 positive inmates. Followed by Florence Sollicciano with 171 infected all asymptomatic, Naples Poggioreale with 166, Busto Arsizio with 151 and 8 symptomatic, Naples Secondigliano with 146 and Pavia with 119. Vaccination proceeds at a slower pace: 100,595 doses administered in total to inmates (99,677 were three days before), 26,577 for the Penitentiary Police officers (against 26,510 on January 17) and 2,928 for administrative and managerial staff (just eight more than three days before).
