ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The introduction of work within the prison serves not only to combat boredom and need, as Voltaire said, but also is a reeducative form prescribed by our Constitution and imposed by our Christian conscience. Our project ‘Recidiva zerò is to find a job for those coming out of prison. We have seen that the recurrence, from 40%, falls to 2% and especially for drug addicts this possibility is the winning card”. Carlo Nordio, Minister of Justice, said this at the National Conference on Employees in Rome.
On prevention in prison, “in Italy the situation is not serious but it is to be monitored, the most dangerous drug is this fentanyl of which it has spoken for a long time”, added Nordio. On prisoners in prison in relation to drugs, a “good part are drug dealers, real criminals for whom no sense is talking about what we are discussing today – he explained -. But there is a percentage of prisoners who committed offences in relation to their state of drug addiction: These are more sick to cure than criminals to punish. For them we have already presented a bill last July for a differentiated detention at therapeutic communities,” he added.
