(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 21 - "I remain convinced of the need to provide structural solutions to the problem of prison overcrowding, which currently takes the form of prison inmates as an additional penalty to the one they have been sentenced to. I believe that Parliament must carefully evaluate, on the one hand , legislative interventions that allow the reduction of the prison population, favoring in particular the use of alternative measures ". This was stated by the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico speaking, at Montecitorio, at the Presentation of the 2021 report of the National Guarantor of the rights of persons deprived of personal freedom.
"On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure the possibility of carrying out in prison the activities aimed at the recovery and social reintegration of the offender, imposed by the educational value provided for by the Constitution", he concludes. (HANDLE).
