L’idea che la detenzione in carcere debba consistere nell’afflizione di una sofferenza (fisica e psicologica) rimane radicata nella cultura dominante […]. L’ambiente penitenziario è di per se patogeno. Problemi diffusi come la carenza di riscaldamento o di acqua calda, l’igiene non sempre adeguata, la mancanza di spazi che consentano uno stile di vita sano diventano causa di patologie. Questo un estratto del XV Rapporto sulle Condizioni di Detenzione dell’Associazione Antigone
Come previsto dall’Art. 27 della Costituzione Italiana, le pene non possono consistere in trattamenti contrari al senso di umanità e devono tendere alla rieducazione del condannato. Il nostro studio pubblicato su Senses and Sciences vuole offrire un contributo sul ruolo dei Terapisti Occupazionali nel carcere. La nostra revisione sistematica infatti raccoglie le evidenze disponibili in letteratura.
