Resumen

Este artículo presenta una reflexión sociojurídica sobre el papel del juez de vigilancia italiano en la configuración del entorno moral penitenciario. Los jueces de vigilancia italianos (“magistrati di sorveglianza”) desempeñan oficialmente dos funciones principales: supervisar la ejecución de las penas y controlar la aplicación de la ley en las prisiones. Por lo tanto, deberían desempeñar un papel clave no sólo en lo que respecta a la consecución del ideal rehabilitador, sino también a la prevención de las violaciones de los derechos de los reclusos. Sin embargo, tradicionalmente nunca han cumplido plenamente su misión de vigilancia penitenciaria, y sólo en muy pocos casos visitan regularmente las prisiones, ya que suelen estar más centrados en otras tareas (a menudo burocráticas y formalistas). Utilizando notas etnográficas recogidas mientras actuaba como experto externo en un Tribunal de Vigilancia italiano, en este trabajo reflexiono sobre cómo afectan las normas informales a las prácticas ordinarias y al proceso de toma de decisiones, en referencia a los dos mandatos institucionales mencionados.
