In the past few weeks, two inmates from two distinct Italian prisons have been granted permission to engage in intimate visits with their partners without the supervision of the prison police. The purpose of these visits is to engage in sexual relations, as the inmates have explicitly stated in their respective requests. These are the first two instances since the Constitutional Court declared the ban on affectivity in prison illegitimate last year. The first example involves an inmate from the Terni prison, while the second involves a prisoner from Parma. In both cases, the permit was granted in response to a complaint filed by the prisoners themselves, who had requested permission to meet with their partner (in Terni) and wife (in Parma) without supervision after being denied by the prison. Assisted by their lawyers, the inmates pursued two legal actions that lasted for months. In the end, the competent supervisory judges (i.e., the judges responsible for overseeing the organization of prisons and regulating the daily lives of inmates) ordered the two prisons to make the necessary arrangements within two months to allow them to have intimate meetings with their partners.
