This historical document presents a discourse by the Minister of Grace and Justice of Italy regarding the establishment of criminal asylums in Italy. Delivered on April 14, 1877, in response to an inquiry by Deputy Righi, the discourse offers insights into the legal and social considerations surrounding the institutionalization of mentally ill offenders during the late 19th century.
"Sulla Istituzione Dei Manicomi Criminali in Italia" provides a valuable glimpse into the development of forensic psychiatry and the evolution of legal attitudes toward mental illness within the Italian justice system. It is an essential resource for historians of law, medicine, and social policy, shedding light on the complexities of balancing justice and care in the treatment of mentally ill individuals.
