<br />
Here a group of ten high-security female inmates and aspiring sommeliers , some of which are married to mafia mobsters or have been convicted for criminal association (crimes carrying up to to decades of jail time), are taking a course of eight lessons to learn how to taste, choose and serve local wines.<br />
<br />
The classes are part of a wide-ranging educational program to teach inmates new professional skills, as well as help them develop a bond with the region they live in.<br />
<br />
Since the 1970s, Italian norms have been providing for reeducation and a personalized approach to detention. However, the lack of funds to rehabilitate inmates, alongside the chronic overcrowding of Italian prisons, have created a reality of thousands of incarcerated men and women with little to do all day long. Especially those with a serious criminal record, experts said, need dedicated therapy and professionals who can help them.

<br />
Italy’s 550 state-run job centers will be in charge of verifying that recipients of the “citizens’ wage”, a welfare policy championed by the governing 5-Star Movement designed to lift 5 million Italian out of poverty, meet an important eligibility criteria: that they are actively looking for a job.<br />
But Italians widely regard the centers as being blighted by obsolete technology and insufficient and under-qualified staff. The new populist government plans to spend 1 billion euros to modernize the centers — 10 percent of the total cost of the new policy in its first year in 2019. <br />
<br />
The “citizens’ wage” will cost 10 billion euros next year, the most expensive item in a big-spending budget which itself has raised concerns in the European Union that Italy could be sowing the seeds of a financial crisis.

Since the 1970s, Italian norms have been providing for reeducation and a personalized approach to detention. However, the lack of funds to rehabilitate inmates, alongside the chronic overcrowding of Italian prisons, have created a reality of thousands of incarcerated men and women with little to do all day long. Especially those with a serious criminal record, experts said, need dedicated therapy and professionals who can help them.

<br />
Italy’s 550 state-run job centers will be in charge of verifying that recipients of the “citizens’ wage”, a welfare policy championed by the governing 5-Star Movement designed to lift 5 million Italian out of poverty, meet an important eligibility criteria: that they are actively looking for a job.<br />
But Italians widely regard the centers as being blighted by obsolete technology and insufficient and under-qualified staff. The new populist government plans to spend 1 billion euros to modernize the centers — 10 percent of the total cost of the new policy in its first year in 2019. <br />
<br />
The “citizens’ wage” will cost 10 billion euros next year, the most expensive item in a big-spending budget which itself has raised concerns in the European Union that Italy could be sowing the seeds of a financial crisis.
