Penalty and Alternative Measures

In the criminal code, some possibilities to avoid going through imprisonment are:• Practice works to the benefit of the community.• Suspension of sentence.• Replacing the Sentencing.

The goal is to avoid the exclusion from society that derives from incarceration and make sure that the convicted person can repair the damage done to society through work.

The punishment management service and alternative measures are the administrative units responsible for managing this type of punishment.

SOCIAL REINTEGRATION

All detainees have the right to participate in treatment programs provided by the Penitentiary Administration to promote personal growth, improve skills and social skills and work and overcome behavioral or factors of exclusion that motivated the criminal behavior of each convicted person.

It is the duty of the Administration to design an individualized program, called individualized treatment program (ITP), for each of them, encouraging them and involving them in the planning and execution of the same.

During ITP processing you take into account aspects such as employment, cultural and professional training, and application of supportive measures and treatment that should be taken into consideration at the time of release. The purpose of this program coincides with the time of the initial sentencing punished, and is reviewed periodically in conjunction with the review of the sentence, namely least once every six months.

The completion of the individualized treatment programme is voluntary.

PIT LEVELS

In individualized treatment program are assigned to each offender, two levels of activity:

Priority Activities:

Are designed to address the serious deficiencies of a subject and in which it intervenes on factors directly related to criminal activity (drug addicts, sexual offenders ecc), or on their gaps in basic training (illiteracy, the lack of professional training, ecc.)

•Complementary activities:

Are not so directly related to the etiology of delittiva nor to its deficiencies in basic training, but complete activities, giving priority within the structure a better quality of life and professional, educational and cultural opportunities.

Training

Attention to the fundamental right to education is, in prisons, an essential tool for the re-education, rehabilitation and social reintegration

Basic training is a priority for the illiterate, for young people, for people and for those with specific problems of access to education, but, at the same time, the emphasis is on the promotion and enhancement of every educational activity.

Employment and Job Placement

These actions include:

•Training for employment.

•Acquisition of work experience in manufacturing taller

•Job orientation.

•Support for the work placement.

•Support for self-employment. Two basic elements of this pathway are training for employment and productive work penitentiary.

Work is a fundamental tool for the reintegration of the person in prison, because prepare for better integration into the labour market after the sentencing.

In prisons, prisoners are given the opportunity to grow work-wise, through a path that includes a number of activities carried out during the time spent in prison, to facilitate their integration into society and to move away from the world of crime.

My advice

1. Detention conditions should not violate the human rights of detained;

2. Detention should avoid all those elements that induce the detainee re-chartered.

3. Training and work inside prisons should have the same characteristics of the education and work outside prisons, to allow, at the end of the sentence, a greater blossoming possibilities of social adaptation of the person;
