[GTranslate]ROME – “A reform area of ​​the penitentiary system, that focuses on the principles enshrined in our Constitution: a certain but humane punishment that truly re-educates”: this is the wish of the Honorable Cosimo Maria Ferri (Italia Viva), former undersecretary of Justice in the Letta, Renzi and Gentiloni governments, addressed to the new Minister, Marta Cartabia.

“I think that the priority of the Draghi Government – Ferri explains, he is also a magistrate – is to put a hand to a serious reform of civil justice and there is a lot to do in terms of investments, resources, projects related to an important digitization. In the criminal justice sector, it will be necessary to restart from the Orlando reform, the effects of which still need to be verified”.

“However, I think that Minister Marta Cartabia will also give a great impetus in the area of ​​the penitentiary system and will be able to link her name to an important reform that focuses on the principles enshrined in our Constitution: a certain but humane punishment that truly re-educates. Safety is guaranteed with a serious re-education”.

According to Ferri (in the pic below), “the political climate today allows for a reform based on rights and not on a prison level that has already failed in the past. In the drawers of via Arenula the Minister will find an important work that was collected thanks to the comparison of several voices during the General States of the Prisons, on which the Renzi government worked. Starting again from here will certainly be a good basis for ideas”.
