Piccoli gesti di normalità quotidiani, umanità della pena e finalità rieducativa. Nota alla sentenza n. 97 del 2020

The Author discusses Constitutional Court’s judgment No. 97 of 2020, where the Constitutional Court once again deals with the detention regime provided under Article 41-bis of the Penitentiary Regulations for people convicted of specific serious crimes. The paper highlights the Constitutional Court’s sensitivity for the needs of social defense underlying this special discipline, and, mainly, for the sense of humanity, that must characterize the sentence, as a precondition of the re-education of the detainee.
