The seventh meeting of the prison infrastructure steering committee, held on July 30, 2026, reviewed progress on the Prison Infrastructure Plan approved in July 2025. The plan allocates over €900 million to refurbish and create 10,000 prison places through maintenance, expansions, and new builds. By mid-2026, 960 prison places had been restored or created, including 700 made operational through maintenance work. New facilities include juvenile detention centers in Triveneto, Palermo, and Cagliari, with 92 places activated on July 23 for ’41-bis’ detainees. Deliveries continue through December, with projects in Messina, Ariano Irpino, and other regions. Parallel efforts include hiring new Prison Police officers via three training courses, with the first group starting work in June 2026.
