Summary: This article delves into a crucial yet understudied aspect of Italian penitentiary history during the 1930s: the intricate interplay between international influences and the development of fascist prison policies with regard to issues of sexuality. Drawing from a rich archive of legislative documents, contemporary publications, and historical accounts, this study examines the emergence of a multifaceted discourse surrounding sexuality within the context of Italian prisons. Within this framework, the article illuminates the tensions between Mussolini's authoritarian policies and the pioneering penitentiary practices that were undergoing experimentation in foreign legal systems 1.

In Indonesia, the legal administration of prisons is a crucial component of the criminal justice system (CJS). Incorporating criminal law principles into penitentiary legal management mainly promotes rehabilitation and public safety. Due to numerous instances in which detainees were tortured to death, Indonesia's penitentiary administration has a negative reputation internationally. Nonetheless, Indonesia's penitentiary legal administration in the context of criminal law has not received much attention. The current study has effectively filled this research vacuum by focusing on the application of criminal law in Indonesian prisons. To acquire the necessary data, this study's qualitative judicial legal research focused on secondary and primary sources. After data collection, content analysis was performed. According to the findings of this study, the "Indonesian Criminal Procedure Law" (KUHAP) permits the extension of pre-trial detentions, which frequently results in unjust trials and other unsatisfactory outcomes. Even though criminal law is implemented in Indonesia's prisons, reforms to KUHAP are necessary to safeguard defendants' human rights. Several defendants have been observed to have been tortured to death during pre-trial detentions, and a few have perished due to prison overcrowding. Certain reforms were made to KUHAP in 1981 to advance the rights of defendants or suspects; however, no reforms were made during the defendants' detention. Law No. 12/1995 (Penitentiary Law) also establishes important regulations for correctional facilities. This research has various theoretical and practical implications. Therefore, significant recommendations were made to amend the KUHAP to improve Indonesia's penitentiary legal management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objectives of the constitutional rule of law are peace and social welfare, in addition to providing the necessary mechanisms to guarantee all members of society the full use of their fundamental rights and the necessary legal security to avoid their violation. Penitentiary law must be seen today as the penalizing faculty of the State. This faculty is, among other things, the possibility of social sanitation and the implementation of public policies that help bridge the gap between the penalty and its execution. The State can no longer create harder laws to inhibit antisocial and unlawful behavior. It must devise the mechanisms that allow individuals who, in strict adherence to criminal law, have complied with their penalty to "reinsert themselves properly into society", not only in the spirit of a guarantee, but as the only way to prevent new criminal behavior.
