"The implementation of the delegation for the criminal trial, whose legislative decrees are being drawn up and will be brought to the Council of Ministers shortly, has an important part that concerns the replacement sentences of short prison sentences of up to 4 years":
instead semi-liberty, home detention, public utility work and a fine of the prison
.
This was stated by the Minister of Justice
Marta Cartabia
, answering the question time to a question on the prison overcrowding of Lucia Annibali, group leader in the Justice Commission at the Italia Viva Chamber.
Given that sentences of up to 4 years "affect about 30% of the prison population", the impact of these measures "can be very significant," Cartabia noted.
The alternative penalties to short prison sentences could give relief to overcrowding, the minister said, as well as other interventions foreseen in the implementation of the delegation, including
the extension of the non-punishment due to the particular tenuousness of the fact
and the suspension of the proceedings. with testing.
To underline the "concreteness" of these interventions is a fact: the people who are in external execution measures "far exceed" the number of prisoners.
"We are almost 74 thousand against 54 thousand and for this reason the hiring of 1092 units and 11 managers has been authorized for the Uepes", observed Cartabia.
Responding to a solicitation contained in the question, the minister also referred to
early release
: "it is being discussed to evaluate whether to raise the deduction of the sentence, in particular for the two years of the pandemic. been harsher and more afflictive, it is rightly discussed ".
