...prevailing situation of mismanagement and corruption, the Communist party (PCI), traditionally the extra-parliamentary opposition, presented itself as the party capable of formulating and putting into practice a program of economic austerity that is the only cure for Italy's unemployment and inflation (20 per cent, according to recent figures). During the recent election campaigns, the PCI backed a program of much-needed social reforms: new hospitals and schools, more housing, and a crackdown on the wealthy industrialists who habitually evade their income tax.

Central to Morris' view was that prisons fail at rehabilitation because they try to cure criminal tendencies in an overwhelmingly degrading environment. Instead of "compulsory helping programs," Morris wrote, prisons should require only that an inmate endure his set punishment; that the incarceration should not be mentally or physically brutalizing; and that the convict should be offered extensive training and other assistance, but the choice to accept should...
