First observations on the law n. 199 of the 30/12/2022 converting the d.l. 162/2022 relating to «Amendments by art. 4-bis of law 26 July 1975, n. 354 in the field of revision of the rules on the prohibition of grating prison benefits to prisoners or internees who do not collaborate with justice»

This paper examines the amendments made by art. 4-bis of L. n. 354/1975 following conversion into Law of d.l. 162/2022. After this diachronic approach of evolution of art. 4-bis, as well as the analysis of the norms that have been subjected to restyling, we can observe - alongside certainly positive aspects – also “shadows cones” within which the decisions taken by the legislator may not find reasons in the ethics and of the constitutional provisions, sufficient to ensure the reeducation of  condemned.
