Lately the “prison system" has gotten a special attention for various reasons. First of all because of the crowding of the prisons and the inhumane conditions in witch inmates live. The goals imposed by the European Union haven’t been met almost by anybody with only a few exceptions. That’s why the latest focus is on the re-education of the inmates in order to socially reintegrate them as soon as possible and thus resolve the issue of the crowding. This research is an attempt to show how seriously this aspect is taken into consideration by two prison systems, one large, in Romania (Craiova) and a regular one in Italy (Chieti) by showing the statistics regarding the personnel, inmates, spaces and activities conducted towards social reintegration of incarcerated persons.

The pandemic spread caused by the Covid 19 virus and the consequent risk of contagion has recently forced most national governments to adopt drastic measures of social control and containment, such as social distancing, which has led to a significant change in the lives and habits of citizens, which in turn pushed people to adapt to a changed external circumstance. This adaptation, which translates sociologically and substantially into a request for compliance with the prescriptions, had in many cases captured oppositional reactions through individual and group deviant behaviors, which, in addition to breaking the rules of a community, have contributed to the violation of that general principle of “mutual altruism” that should characterize modern societies and increase the viral contagion. The conducted research has explored the risks of contagion from Covid 19 regarding compliant or deviant conducts of behavior with reference to the lockdown requirements in the first half of 2020.
