20110137 - PENITENTIARY LAW

The main purpose of the course is to provide the student with the main tools necessary to handle the subject of penitentiary treatment, through the knowledge of both the legislation required by the laws specifically dedicated to it (Law n. 354 of 1975 and its executive regulation) and the provisions of the penal code and of the code of criminal procedure related to it. The fundamental priority of the course will also be to deepen the current supranational framework on the subject of penitentiary regulation and prisoners' rights, through the analysis of both legislative texts and the more relevant jurisprudential judgments.
