PRE-AND-POST TRIAL ALTERNATIVE JUSTICE

ended

PRE-AND-POST is an Italian judicial Network, led by AGF, Italy, focusing on alternative measures to detention in the pre-trial phase (CFD 2009/829/JHA in relation to art. 12 of CFD 2002/584/JHA) and during penal execution (CFD 2008/947/JHA). The PRE-AND-POST Network aims to foster knowledge, the sharing of experience and common tools, exchange of information and training activities with a bottom-up approach. The project uses a grassroots and multilevel methodology for the networking, which evolves gradually from the local to the national level and, eventually, bridges national efforts to those made at EU level. The project contributes to strengthening the existing network of prosecutor offices, courts and professional associations of lawyers, expanding it to cover all 26 Italian jurisdictions, to ensure a better implementation of non-custodial measure at all stages of the judicial proceedings. The project’s direct beneficiaries are the 26 Italian district prosecutor offices, 27 General Prosecutors and 140 ordinary prosecution offices, 26 Courts of Appeal, and 26 Surveillance Courts, as well as 200 local Forensic Councils. Moreover, further indirect beneficiaries include the Office I of the Italian Ministry of Justice (International Cooperation), as well as UEPE offices (Probation) and USSM (Minors and juveniles). Expected direct users reached throughout the project in WP2,3,4 and 5 include: 200 prosecutors and GIP/GUP judges, 150 judges of the trial, 800 penal lawyers and 200 Court and probation staff members.
