Summary/Abstract: Solving prison overcrowding and improving detention conditions constitute current concerns in many of the world's states. These require a correlation of the legislative and administrative measures, but also the measures of social reintegration of convicts, in order also to reduce the recidivism. The present study draws an account of this issue at at Romania's level, outlining the measures the Romanian state has undertaken to fulfill the constitutional obligations and international commitments in order to raise to the standards of fundamental rights protection imposed by them.
