Abstract

Even if the EU does not have an attributed competence on penitentiary systems, prison overcrowding has reached a relevance in EU law. Firstly, as an expression of the prohibition of torture and inhuman and degrading treatments ex Article 3 ECHR, which binds the EU in adopting its legislation and the Member States in implementing it. This is the case for the EU secondary legislation adopted in the field of criminal cooperation and for the Court for Justice case law. Furthermore, prison overcrowding has been the subject of some recommendations addressed to the Member States, in which the EU has called for better detention conditions in national prisons.
