Tutela della genitorialità e misure alternative alla detenzione

During the execution of a prison sentence, incarceration profoundly affects family and emotional relationships. The author examines the issue of convicted parents’ access to alternatives to imprisonment, with a focus on home detention. Particular attention is given to Constitutional Court ruling 52/2025, which expanded the possibility for incarcerated fathers to benefit from special home detention. The essay concludes with a brief reflection on the systemic implications of the decision and the prospects for balancing punitive needs with the protection of the parent-child bond.
