For the first time, former detainees have publicly recounted their personal experience of violence in the prison. Federico Perna died in Naples prison on 8 November 2013. The official autopsy cited ischemia as the cause of death. But his mother Nobila does not accept this. The body of the thirty-four year bore visible signs of beatings.
