Summary/Abstract: Starting from the principle of re-education of inmates as stated in the Italian Constitution (article 27, paragraph 3) the essay wants to reflect on the meaning of “educational compensation”. The research method is based on the consultation and analysis of several pedagogical and legal documents, mainly from the Italian context. As a result the essay poses evidence to the involvement of the society as a whole in the “educational compensation” processes that take place within and outside prison, mostly in informal and embedded modes.
