During the academic year 2021-2022, the Legal Clinic ran a legal desk activity in the 4th section of Bollate prison, in collaboration with “Articolo 3”, a social cooperative.

Following this activity, a “vademecum” titled “Foreign Inmates. Questions and Answers” was developed. The aim of the “vademecum” is to provide information and explanations on the complex issues surrounding the interplay between criminal and migration law. It specifically addresses issues related to administrative and judicial expulsions from Italy, as well as issues concerning the residency status of migrants convicted for a so-called “reati ostativi” (crimes that hinder the issuance or renewal of a residency permit).

The “vademecum” was updated in 2023, in order to incorporate the legislative changes that have taken place in the meantime.
