Specifically, EU Directive 115/2008/EC stipulates that State parties should, where possible, prioritize the voluntary return of immigrants who are staying illegally. Moreover, where possible States should adopt alternative measures in order to avoid immigration detention. In theory Italian national legislation is required to have incorporated EU Directive 115/2008/EC, however the findings from the CIE Research Project have revealed that in practice the Italian authorities do not appear to be implementing the Directive appropriately since administrative detention is being used in both Turin, and possibly throughout Italy, as the general rule rather than the exception.
