Today, it is becoming increasingly necessary to foster a contamination between the world of management and that of prison administration. Prison must not abandon the goal of rehabilitation for which it is established, and at the same time, it cannot lose sight of its nature as an organization. As such, it is required to cover the needs of its various stakeholders. The complex purpose of a penal institution, that must remain faithful to its original mission, can be pursued only through a balancing of the aspects that revolve around the institutional logic of “security” and “treatment.”#Prison administration must continue to strengthen the dialogue with the outside, but at the same time, must institute an internal dialogue with the social groups present, thus overcoming the different cultures that still co-exist with difficulty.
