The course aims to encourage students to acquire legal knowledge, critical awareness and interpretative skills in relation to the current structure of the penitentiary regulatory system, with particular regard to the deepening of the relationships between the institutes of penal execution and the prisoner's rights in the order and value framework of the current constitutional set-up.
In more detail, the course will focus on reflecting on the multiple spheres of constitutional importance involved in the prison experience, on the legal protections that accompany it and on the concrete application of the penal institutes with respect to the rehabilitative and re-socializing aims pursued.
In the perspective of this reinterpretation of these thematic nodes, the study and analysis program will be able to deepen - according to a reconstructive approach of socio-criminological orientation - the sequence of the most relevant profiles of interest of penal execution and of the prisoner's rights, in relation to the following visual angles:
- the identities of people in prison: women, foreigners, minors;
- work and penal execution;
- right to education and culture;
- religious freedom;
- the right to health;
- affectivity and restriction;
- the collective liberties of prisoners;
- the right to vote;
- information in prison;
- the right to privacy: freedom and secrecy of communications; personal data protection;
- freedom from torture;
- personal freedom and social danger;
