Italy is reorganizing its prison system to concentrate over 700 inmates under strict detention in seven facilities, causing local discontent and affecting rehabilitation programs. The plan, named "Kairos," aims to reduce the number of prisons housing inmates under the 41-bis regime from 12 to seven. This regime, established in 1992, imposes severe restrictions to prevent criminal leaders from issuing orders from prison. The government has already transferred over 200 inmates to three prisons, with further operations planned. Critics argue that the changes disrupt educational programs and increase pressure on prison staff. Local authorities express concerns over security and lack of consultation in the decision-making process.
