and to the tools for the enforcement of rights in prison;
2. The "prison rights desk": the students, led by the teachers and tutors
involved in the project, will go to the Perugia Prison where they will meet
the inmates who have requested them to submit their complaints and
requests for information on the possibilities of protection of rights. The
group will immediately respond to the simplest requests for information.
It undertakes to study the most complex cases and to report to the
person in subsequent meetings;
3. In the final part of the course, each student will have to report on the
case faced during the "prison rights desk" activity.
Learning verification modality
Oral exam. Attending students will be assessed through a final interview
which, starting from a case, will focus on the topics covered during the
lessons.
Extended program
The course analyzes the law relating to prisons, focusing on the Italian
prison system, the principles and purposes of penitentiary treatment and
on the entirety of the alternative measures to detention.
