The Polizia Penitenziaria (Prison Guards, literally Penitentiary Police) is subordinate to the Italian Ministry of Justice and operates the Italian prison system. It ensures the security of Italian prisons, keeping unauthorized people out and preventing escape by prisoners. It also maintains order inside prisons, handles the transportation of inmates to and from prison and to court or medical appointments, and manages work and education programs for inmates.
