The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, praised the final approval of legislation enabling individuals convicted of crimes linked to drug addiction to participate in recovery programs under house arrest at therapeutic communities, instead of serving prison terms, provided their sentence does not exceed eight years. The law, developed with Senate input including opposition amendments, reflects a joint proposal from the addiction recovery sector, including therapeutic communities. It was endorsed at the National Conference on Addiction in Rome last November. The measure aims to expand and strengthen rehabilitation opportunities, enhance public safety by reducing recidivism risks, and alleviate prison overcrowding through voluntary participation in therapeutic community programs.
