Resumen

The essay tackles the delicate issue of the prison system in an innovative way. The central element of the paper is the pecuniary penalty, a precious sanctioning tool that the ancient Greeks gave to the penal system and that, as Prof. Eva Cantarella pointed out, allowed the passage from the World of Vengeance to the World of Law. The author supports what Prof. Emilio Dolcini has been saying since the 1970s about the introduction of the daily rate system, adding new elements. The case study is the model of daily rates in the Peruvian penal system, which also makes use of software, and which, in the author's view, is a possible way also in Italy to have a beneficial knock-on effect on the prison system as a whole. Many steps forward have been taken in the area of financial penalties through the Cartabia Reform, which resolved important issues of the previous regulatory framework, but this paper will focus on the still unresolved knots as it aims to address the still existing critical issues. © The author(s) 2022, published by Suor Orsola Benincasa Università Editrice.
