Friday 14 and Saturday, August 15, on the occasion of the "Mid-August in Prison" promoted by the Radical Party, I visited four prisons in the province, in particular the Institute of Sollicciano, Solliccianino, l ' Penal Institute for Minors in Florence and the criminal asylum at Montelupo.
To varying degrees, in all institutions I have found the will and the administrative staff of the Penitentiary Police to create and maintain a harmonious atmosphere among prisoners prison facilities and tools for rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners. This will clash with national policy choices in recent years have progressively reduced the resources available to prisons, in terms of personnel and operational funds, and increased the prison population over the design limits of the prison facilities.
This trend, which suggests a vision of schools as places in which to isolate and forget the fruits of social problems unresolved, results in the progressive deterioration of the quality of educational supervision with great harm to the detainees and security personnel, and as a consequence for the citizen.
remains high because the number of cases suicide among the detainees, but also among the security staff that looks like a kind of part time prison population, a symptom of a discomfort in any manner inconsistent with an action of rehabilitation and determining the lack of effective rehabilitation of prisoners and the consequent increase in cases of recurrence of crimes against the security of its citizens.
E 'so the obvious contradiction with the heralded promises of security of the center right, while demonizing the entry of foreign labor is essential to agricultural and industrial activities, it does not invest in the training of prison inmates.
While there is a need to organize rehabilitative services internally to prison, the other the widespread tendency to outsource the same prison facility ends up depriving the bank of an effective learning.
