Karlo Nordio

Karlo Nordio is the Italian Minister of Justice, known for his role in advocating reforms within the Italian prison system. Recently, he supported a law that allows drug and alcohol-dependent prisoners to serve their sentences at home under rehabilitation programs, aimed at reducing prison overcrowding, which is currently at around 140% of capacity in Italian prisons. This initiative is seen as a significant step towards addressing both the humanitarian needs of inmates and the pressing issues of overcrowding, marking a notable shift in Italian criminal justice policy.
