(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 25 - The penalty "as I have said several times in my writings, does not necessarily coincide with prison. The execution of the sentence, which must be certain, must be proportionate, must be above all fair, because the first judge of the judge is the accused or the condemned person ".
And "it must be oriented to the re-education of the condemned. We will try to do all this through the reorganization of the prison system that is very close to my heart".
The Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio said this, announcing that he will make his first visits to prisons: "This does not mean being good but applying the Constitution".
Nordio also reiterated that he considered Marta Cartabia's reforms on justice to be "right" and said that the current government "will try to carry out these reforms in an even more advanced way" (ANSA).
