20110685 - Prisoners’ rights and Constitution

The course aims to offer a reading of prison law in the light of the Constitution, with an approach particularly attentive to the declinations of the normative datum in practice and case law, not only national. In this key, predominantly marked by the "constitutionalist" approach, it is intended to offer an enrichment of the students' cultural background by integrating the knowledge already acquired, from different angles (constitutional law, philosophy of law, criminal law, criminal trial law, international law, etc.), with the basic teachings offered in our degree course. Where permitted by the competent administration, visits to prison institutions will be organised.
