Presentation

The course of time has not yet allowed that the prison sentence be the «paradigm» on which is based the sentence discourse. Simultaneously, the prison sentence is still the «total sentence» where restriction of the fundamental rights of citizens assumes a greater impressiveness. In the case of restraining the freedom of citizens, the legal constitutional and normative framework imposes, nonetheless, that in its execution this aim be not exceeded, in the possible extent, and that the prisoners’ rights «do not remain at the door of prisons».

The approval and entry into force of a new Code of Execution of Sentences and Custodial Security Measures incorporates a substantial transformation in its principles, in substantive law and in the proceedings, absolutely innovative to  the entire system of  custodial sentences.

In this sense, the comprehension of a new model  - because it is , in many ways, a new model that the Law is bringing  - requires  that, not only the professionals that are involved in this process, as the vey own society take care to its prisoners» and the manner in which the sentence should be executed.

Prison is a temporary condition which translates into the deprivation of a citizen’s liberty. 

The 1st Advanced Training Course of the 3rd Cycle of the Advanced Training Course that is now proposed, seeks to present to all the interested a broad and deep perspective on what will change in the execution of sentences and custodial measures, framed in the principle established by the Council of Europe and systematically underlined by the European Court of Human Rights, that the prison sentence , being a necessary measure of last resort, should be based on recognition of the dignity of those who are detained.  

This is, after all, the role of prison in a democratic society.


Target

Open to all professionals in the area of justice or those who have special links to this sector, namely judicial magistrates and officials at the Republic’s Prosecution Service, lawyers, cadres from the social reintegration services, prison services mental health services and post-graduate students.
