Prison Law
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
This course studies in depth a fundamental part in the training of the criminal jurist. Not only with regard to the primary importance of the constitutional principles which are involved in the penitentiary enforcement of the judgments (both from the substantial side and from the procedural one). The main argument of the course is the increasing practical relevance of the penitentiary Law's institutes, which are able to etch the content of the final ruling, in order to pursue the aim of the rehabilitation pursuant to section 27 paragraph 3 of the Italian Constitution. This objective will be carried out without disregarding the fact that from the constitutional guarantee comes the duty for the State (the democratic one) to work towards itself in order to rieducate the convicted individual, besides the right for this individual of gathering a proper rieducation.
Expected learning outcomes
Thanks to this teaching the students will achieve a deep knowledge of the l. 354/1975, in order to understand how it works into the criminal system. The course aims to develope both an independent thought, under the profile of the reconstruction of the enforcement system, and the communicative skills on the side of the juridical reasoning, also in the perspective of the solution of practical matters. Indeed, throughout the course the student will improve their ability on giving answers to penitentiary enforcement questions (practical or theoretical).
In addition, as far as the teaching focuses on a transversal subject, it will provide a method to set up and solve criminal law problems, using an approach that considers also the links between substansial and procedural law
