Some violence related to CoViD-19 counteracting measures occurred in some Italian prison last month. Epidemic CoViD-19 reflects the higher risk of infections among inmates and personnel, due to closed proximity, prison overcrowding and structural conditions of Italian prisons. In the world, the higher risk infections among prisoners has been investigated in many studies, showing that, compared with the general public, people in prisons have a higher prevalence of infection such as HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and tuberculosis. This is recognized as a major issue for the health of people in prisons, as well as the general population, because the majority of people who have been incarcerated will subsequently return to their communities. In Italy there are no enough available data to know the sanitary impact of such epidemic, so that preventive measures are extremely urgent.
上个月，意大利一些监狱发生了与新冠疫情防控措施相关的暴力事件。新冠疫情反映出囚犯和监狱工作人员感染风险更高，这是由于空间封闭、监狱过度拥挤以及意大利监狱的结构条件所致。在全球范围内，许多研究都对囚犯中较高的感染风险进行了调查，结果表明，与普通公众相比，监狱中的人群感染艾滋病毒、丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）和结核病等疾病的患病率更高。这被认为是影响监狱人员以及普通民众健康的一个重大问题，因为大多数被监禁的人随后都会回到他们的社区。在意大利，没有足够的数据来了解这种疫情对卫生状况的影响，因此预防措施极为紧迫。
