CAT/OP/ITA/1/Add.1 155. On the 2nd December 2015, the Penitentiary Administration issued the circular letter nr. 3665/6115, addressed to the Regional Directorates and to the prisons, providing directions for the start and the carrying out of the procedures. Said circular letter brought a specific IT instrument named “Certificate for the Identification of the Migrant Prisoner (C.I.D.I.)” 156. Since December 2015, the above-mentioned software was put at the disposal of the Immigration Offices of the Questure [Local Police Headquarters] which are competent to start the identification procedures for foreign inmates, allowing the visualization of all data and information provided for by the above-mentioned Protocol. 157. In order to make the cooperation with the Immigration Offices of the Questure more and more precise and effective as well as to ascertain, more and more quickly, the identity of foreign prisoners, the Department of Penitentiary Administration prepared a new version of the software for the Questure, which is now called Certificate of Identification of the Foreign Prisoner – C.I.De.S. Such modification came into effect on 10 th May 2016. 158. As of 20th July 2016, foreign prisoners were 18,092, out of a total number of 53,961 prisoners; the following breakdown concerns foreign inmates’ legal status: Pre-trial: 3,566 Sentenced but not with a final sentence: 3,796 Finally sentenced: 10,657 Internees: 44 Still to be determined 29 159. As for their distribution throughout our Country, 51.35 % of them are held in Northern Italy prisons, 26.92 % in central Italy and 27.73 % are held in Southern Italy prisons. 160. As for foreigners’ nationality, most of them come from Albania, Morocco, Romania and Tunisia. 161. During 2015, 725 foreign prisoners were subject to an exclusion order as sanction alternative to detention: 38.2 % of them were Albanians, 15.7 were Moroccans and 12.3 Tunisians. 162. Against this background, besides recalling Article 13, para.13, and Article 14-ter of Legislative Decree No. 286/1998, the legislation punishes abetment of illegal migration and all those organized crime forms to be associated with THB. Para. 91 163. The possibility that foreigners are moved to CIEs directly from the landing place does not constitute collective detention. Even in these cases, in fact, we do apply a case-bycase approach, besides considering and relying on: the existence of conditions for expulsion; elements indicating the will of seeking international protection; and vulnerability indicators, thus preventing the issuance of an expulsion order - which is a pre-requisite for the transfer to CIE. Paras. 102-104 164. Regarding the early identification of victims of torture, abuse or any other trauma, we recall the above-mentioned Guidelines, to be soon issued by the Ministry of Health. 165. As for reception of persons with special needs (Article 17 of Legislative Decree No. 142/ 2015), it is expected that reception measures take into account the situation of specific vulnerability of the individuals, including persons who have been subjected to torture, by 29
