Updated 8.30am with CCF statement A double murderer has asked the courts to launch a magisterial inquiry into what he claims is systematic terror, fear and torture that he and other prisoners are enduring in prison. Brian Vella, 41, filed an application to the Criminal Court claiming inhumane treatment at Corradino Correctional Facility, targeting him and other prisoners. He also drew attention to the possibility that a crime was committed within the facility in September 2018. Through his lawyer, Jason Grima, Vella explained that he had been in jail for 21 years and that the management of CCF was never as bad as under the present administration.
