But above all there is a huge political responsibility of those who profited on Security Policy has the votes and consensus. It is easier to increase penalties, to invent new crimes that make prevention and care in the area. So the prisons have become the other dark side of Italy, under the social carpet which no one wants to put the powder in front of home, of real social landfill. But at least they work? The data tell us no. Some 67 percent of those who spend their entire sentence in the cells of our prisons back to crime. The primary mission, inscribed in Article 27 of the Constitution, that "the punishment should be aimed at rehabilitation of the offender" is widely rejected. But at least the prisoners are cheap? No, from 120 to 150 € per day for each of the 68 000 inmates in Italian schools. Much more than it costs a drug addict in a community that can cure it. They bring many votes to the parties of the 'order' and 'security'? Yes, but this is also our fault.
