Three prison officers were arrested in
Bari Wednesday on suspicion of torturing a psychiatric inmate at
the Puglia city's prison in April this year, local sources said.
The violence was allegedly inflicted on the 41-year-old male
inmate on April 27.
The officers reportedly beat him after he set fire to his
mattress.
They are accused of 'torturing' him while he was being taken to
the prison infirmary.
Investigators scanned CCTV footage in order to find evidence
leading to the arrests, police said.
