Dispute concerning prisoner’s transfer to a high security wing: no violation
The application concerns the applicant’s conditions of detention as a result of the application of section 41bis of the Prison Administration Act and his transfer to a high-security wing. It also concerns the ineffectiveness of the appeals brought by the applicant before the Naples court responsible for the supervision of sentences against the decisions ordering application of the special prison regime provided for in section 41bis, and the lack of legal grounding for and effective domestic remedy against his transfer to a high-security wing. It further concerns the monitoring of the applicant’s correspondence and Article 9 of the Convention.
