JUVENILE PRISON
In Italy 3 out of 100 people in criminal charge are under the age of 18.
More frequent crimes are theft, traffic of drug, robbery and racket.
Young people are arrested because they have commited a crime and are punishable according the law but if we listen their stories we immediately understand that they have faced difficult situations in their lives such as fisical and psychological violence, exploitation and abandon.
The main problem is the relationship with the family, it is not solid and sound, they miss this connection, in many cases they never had a good relation with the family even when they lived free in the society.
Before arriving in a juvenile detention center, these young people pass through different steps: social services, house arrest without any improvement.
Self-harm, signs on the bodies, missing identity express a discomfort coming from a distance, caused by different situations.
These young people are really decisive and difficult to manage, on the other hand social services and goods to satisfy juvenile needs are more and more a privilege of few.
No fear, no worry to be imprisoned, the society values push people to do everithing in order to get money, becose money is power: Why should I study years to look for a job and gain only a thousand or two thousand of montly salary if in one day I can get 10 times more, stealing?
