One of the main points addressed by the Legal Clinic of Criminal Justice is the administrative detention of migrants in the Pre-removal detention centres (Centri per la Permanenza e il Rimpatrio, so-called C.P.R.).

In 2020-2021, the Clinic, in collaboration with the Guarantor of the Rights of Persons Deprived of Personal Liberty of Milan and the Milan Bar Association, launched a project entitled “The CPR of Via Corelli: A Survey by the Legal Clinic of Criminal Justice”. This project aims at investigating and monitoring the conditions of administrative detention in the Via Corelli Centre. For this purpose, the students have engaged in meetings with personnel involved in the Centre’s management, as well as with judges and lawyers working on this issue.

The findings were subsequently summarised in a report, which has been made publicly available.
