From Segregated Prison to a Re-education Place, the Silence of those Forgotten: between Utopia and Reality

Abstract

Prisons, in the constitutional ideal, are the last answer that a law of a state can give against a violation. A point that is not an end but a beginning from which we can and must start again. The prison concept has profoundly changed in the last seventy years, embracing a logic of re-socialization. Often, however, only in words: then not provided with specific financial allocations, public opinion's attention and often emergencies of emergency cycles. It seems to still be in its infancy, yet much has been done: seemingly irreconcilable performance evolutions such as physical activity, taking care of body, movement and sport find a social and re-educational value, inclusive possibilities for health protection and well-being to give back to society an empowered and conscious person, capable in turn of restoring positivity.
