Attached to this post you can find the handbook “FOREIGN INMATES: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS”, prepared by the Legal counselling desk for migrant inmates of our Legal Clinic of Criminal Justice.

The handbook provides answers to the questions most frequently asked by the users of the Desk: Who is entitled to a residence permit? In which cases can the permit be renewed, and when is it revoked? How do expulsions work? How does a criminal conviction affect the possibility of legally residing in Italy? How can a foreign national obtain citizenship?

This updated edition of the handbook – available in Italian, Arabic, and Spanish – is designed to be an easy-to-use tool. It is intended both for foreign nationals who find themselves dealing with complex legal issues (whether during detention or upon release), and for the various categories of professionals and volunteers who must navigate a legal framework that is often complex and confusing.
