Hospitalized Prisoners Speak of Purgatory Conditions

The prisoners who are being hospitalized at the Saint Paul hospital of Korydallos prison uploaded a series of shocking photos on Twitter and ever since, they have been spreading all over the internet. The prisoners have gone on a hunger strike since February 16, because according to them, the conditions of their hospitalization are very poor. They expressed their fears for the spread of tuberculosis and scabies. “The prosecutor came six days after our plea but refused to approach us,” stated a prisoner, while another one noted “The prosecutor and general secretary of prison policy ignore this issue and condemn us once more.” “There are about 180 prisoners with cancer, kidney diseases, after transplant surgery or with AIDS, we are slowly dying,” the prisoners reported, requesting from the Greek government to intervene. At the same time, the Greek Ministry of Justice revealed that the government has already made plans to improve Agios Savvas hospital in Korydallos prison with nursing staff.
