Italy’s justice minister has signed an agreement to have Moroccan convicts sent back home, in a move aimed at tackling chronic overcrowding in 

Andrea Orlando signed the accord with his Moroccan counterpart, Mustafa Ramid, during a meeting in the Moroccan capital, Rabat.

The agreement will affect Moroccans who have received a definitive conviction in Italy and have been sentenced to a year or more in prison, the Italian justice ministry said in a statement.

Under the new plan, the convicts will be sent back to Morocco to serve out the rest of their sentence, while receiving “social reintegration” in Morocco where “they have social and family ties”, the ministry said.

  1. Well, it’s a start, but then there’s this wussing out near the end of the article.

    “No prisoner will be sent back to Morocco without giving their consent, a justice ministry spokesman told The Local.

    Nor will the agreement affect second-generation immigrants, born in Italy to Moroccan parents who cannot gain Italian citizenship until they are 18.”

    I wonder how many Moroccans will voluntarily go back? Some might, but I would much rather Italy take a firm stand and forcibly extradite all of them back, whether they want to or not. Moreover, I wonder how many Moroccans in prison were born in Italy? If they haven’t got their Italian citizenship yet, they should be forced out too, otherwise it’ll be damn near impossible to do so once they’re 18.

    Well, it’s a step in the right direction, at the very least. If at least 1000 of the 4000 are sent back I’ll be happy.
