As of February 2023, 740 inmates in Italy were in hard prison regime, known in Italian as 41-bis. The vast majority of the inmates were males, accounting for 728 prisoners. The number of female prisoners in 41 bis was 12, all located in the prison of L'Aquila, in the South Italian region of Abruzzo. This regime is typically applied to Mafia inmates in order to isolate them from mediating and communicating mafia businesses from within the prison.
In 2019, the European court of human rights (ECHR) ruled that the Italian prison system for Mafia inmates must be reviewed as the conditions under which they are serving their sentence violates their human rights.
