For those people who have not the opportunity to come to Busto Arsizio and to have conversations with their beloved ones, it is possible to talk with them through video calls by the means of the online platform “Microsoft Teams”.
Below you can find some useful information about how to do it and the documentation the inmate is required to show in order to apply for it.
The inmate has at his disposal a maximum of 6 hours per month for conversations, included those by Teams calls. Those, who can just talk through video calls, have 6 hours per month they can use for this type of conversations.
Teams is an online platform which allows you to make video calls. Nowadays there are a lot of social media that give this opportunity (like also WhatsApp!), but Teams is the only way accepted and authorized by the justice department.
You can upload it on your PC or also on your smartphone by clicking here below ("Download Skype"). After that, you will be asked to create your own account or register with an account you already use (as, for example, Microsoft).
Have you been authorized to have conversations yet? Then, just send your e-mail address to the inmate! Write to the chaplain at: cappellanocarcerebustoarsizio@gmail.com .
Haven’t you been authorized to have conversations yet? Then, keep reading hereunder!
The inmate has to make a request for this conversation method (he needs to submit it to the judge if he is still on trial or to the prison director if he is in jail ultimately), providing the following paperwork (which need to be delivered to the inmate if he wants to activate this service).
Personal data of the person (relative...) with which he desires to have the video call;
Mail address used by the call receiver (relative…);
Telephone number – also mobile phone – and place where the call will be made;
Copy of the certificate that demonstrates the family status and/or a self-certification attesting the degree of kinship between the inmate and the relative, that is, the cohabitation relationship;
Copy of the relative/cohabitee’s valid ID (identification document), equipped with photo;
Self-certification of the relative/cohabitee about the absence of people different from the call receiver, during the video connection.
1. Download and fill in the SELF-CERTIFICATION here on the side (it is not official, like everything else on this web page! But it works!)
2. Send the self-certification by post to the Busto Arsizio prison, whose address is: Via per Cassano 102, 21052, Busto Arsizio (VA), Italy.
3. Or you can also scan the whole certification and send it by e-mail to the address: cappellanocarcerebustoarsizio@gmail.com
