Comment

2017 marks the bicentenary of the Corps of the Italian Prison Constabulary, a corps founded by King Vittorio Emanuele I under the "Regie Patenti Sarde"issued on March 18, 1817. Two hundreds years of life of an outstanding institution throughout the Italian history and a crucial element in the criminal execution system guaranteeing hope to detainees as well as legality and security to the whole society. Following a path started two centuries ago, the Italian Prison Constabulary performs highly specialised tasks, both inside and outside prisons, defining its identity, mission and uniqueness among the institutions of the Italian Republic.
