"The certainty of rehabilitation: Prison costs and value of the alternatives to detention," a new report edited by a group of volunteer organizations working on detention issues, was presented in Rome on December 17. The report concluded that more alternatives to detention should be made available, noting that removing 10,000 current inmates through detention alternatives would save the penitentiary system 577,000 euros per day, and 1,500 jobs could be created to staff and operate alternative detention homes.
