Mission & Interests
Goals: Antigone is a cultural NGO that was born in the late eighties. Our name comes from the academic journal «Antigone», founded by Massimo Cacciari, Stefano Rodotà and Rossana Rossanda, and our motto “per i diritti e le garanzie nel sistema penale” (for rights and guarantees in the penal system) summons up our mission. Our supporters are magistrates, workers in the penitentiary system, lawyers, researchers, parliamentarians, teachers and ordinary citizens interested in criminal justice.
We carry out many activities including raising awareness on public opinion and facilitate debates on the Italian penal system through campaigns, education, media, publications, and the academic journal “Antigone”. We conduct many studies and researches on penal and penitentiary issues, and cooperate in writing draft laws. Since 1998 the Ministry of Justice has granted us a special authorization to visit prisons to monitor prison conditions. In 2008 the authorization was extended to juvenile prisons
