Jurisdiction and Penal Execution. The Prison: an institutional contradiction

Authors

  • Luigi Ferrajoli

Abstract

The work first examines the nature of the so called "jurisdiction of the penal execution" to question the true status of it to rule on specific acts of persons deprived of their liberty, but about ways of being subjective. Second, the article questions the possibility that inside prison can give an effective respect for fundamental rights of persons deprived of their liberty. Thus, the paper proposes some concrete measures towards a gradual overcoming of the custodial option to reduce being replaced by less harmful to the dignity of persons.
