Jihadismo e carcere in Italia

2022

Quando si scrive, si dibatte o si argomenta intorno ad Islam e radicalizzazione, ǧihād e comunità islamiche in Europa, come anche quando ci si occupa di musulmani in carcere, il rischio di scadere in approcci stereotipati o di ristrette vedute (narrow-minded nel gergo dei colleghi anglosassoni), è un rischio quasi sempre non solo dietro l’angolo, ma spesse volte ben concretamente realizzatosi dinanzi agli occhi di chi legge, di chi ascolta o di chi partecipa ad un dibattito. In una certa stampa si possono rintracciare atteggiamenti islamofobi altresì individuabili, purtroppo, persino in alcune espressioni politiche che sciaguratamente beneficiano dell’ “immagine pubblica negativa dell’Islam…

The ECHR Condemns Prison Overcrowding in Italy: The Total Reorganization of the Institution and the Social Reintegration of the Prisoner

2017

The contribution analyses the current Italian prison system, which has been called upon on to resolve its structural problems. The Council of Europe, in fact, in 2013 condemned Italy for inhuman treatment in its prisons. The principal accusation concerns the problem of overcrowding. The country has responded with solutions such as the application of the open system, which provides cells solely for overnight stays, and dynamic monitoring, an effective system for ensuring order in the institutions. These initiatives aim to promote re-educational activities and the social re-integration of prisoners. In addition, Italian institutions have made greater use of alternatives to custodial penalties…

Radicalization in Correctional Systems: A Scoping Review of the Literature Evaluating the Effectiveness of Preventing and Countering Interventions

2023

Although several prevention and countering radicalization programs in correctional institutions have been carried out in Europe and worldwide, little is known about their effectiveness. Thus, the current scoping review aimed at reporting on the state of the art of the literature assessing and evaluating such actions, identifying knowledge gaps, and examining methods used to assess their successfulness and impact. A total of eight studies that met eligibility criteria were reviewed after performing a search on Scopus, Web of Science, and PsychInfo (Ebsco) databases: Two studies evaluated a reintegration initiative based in the Netherlands; four focused on an Australian disengagement program;…

The relavance of indoor comfort in the process of prisoners’ rehabilitation: a case study

2016

The history of prisons is full of contradictions in every historical period and the evolution of prison buildings expresses many faces in the history of each country. The concept of punishment imposed on the offender has undergone several changes over the centuries, related to culture, politics, and to the evolution of the human thought. For centuries, tiny closed spaces have been adapted for the offenders' detention, without ever thinking to create an ad hoc functional distribution of spaces. The issue of the design of prisons has often been a reason of debate, and it is still an open field of discussion. From a legal point of view, in recent years there has been a rethinking of the proble…

Soundless Screams: Graffiti and Drawings in the Prisons of the Holy Office in Palermo

2017

The discovery of graffiti in the early years of the twentieth century by the folklorist Giuseppe Pitré left by prisoners of the tribunal of the Spanish Inquisition in Palermo has been followed by more extensive investigations in recent years.

This article cross references this visual and textual evidence with the relevant archives of the tribunal in order to provide a powerful microhistory of suffering and resilience …

Zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa osadzonych w przestrzeni izolacji więziennej

2019

Pomimo wielu przeobrażeń systemowych i penitencjarnych zjawisko nieformalnej degradacji nadal występuje, a skazani poszkodowani (zdegradowani) reprezentują specyficzną grupę osób odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności. Ich specyfika wynika zarówno z tego, kim są (cech osobowości), jak i z traktowania ich przez ogół kryminalnej populacji. W artykule opisano wyniki autorskich badań na temat funkcjonowania poszkodowanych w polskich więzieniach ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem (poczucia) bezpieczeństwa. Istotne było zbadanie czynników, które owo poczucie determinują, czyli: przyczyn degradacji więziennej; relacji interpersonalnych, jakie zachodzą pomiędzy chronionymi a pozostałymi więźniami (gryps…

Female vs Males inmates: Authors' reply and sample size calculation

2019

Bruno and colleagues highlighted the relatively low absolute-percentage of psychiatric morbidity that we found in our sample, as compared to their male sample. They invited to the use of diagnostic tools, specific for personality disorders and suicidal risk factors, to better investigate these critical issues. In summary, our results showed high percentages of psychiatric morbidity (44%), especially anxiety and depression. Female inmates declared to be most stressed by the distance from family and loved ones, and they did not present any antisocial personality diagnosis. They also showed a resilient reaction to their situation, because more than a half of women requested a supportive psycho…
