Turin's CIE - International University College of Turin

APPENDIX 3: THE INTERVIEW FORMS
INTERVIEW FORM 1: FOR DETAINEES AND FORMER DETAINEES
The International University College of Turin (IUC) in association with Associazione per gli Studi Giuridici
sull’immigrazione (ASGI) is conducting a study on the conditions for migrants in the centre for identification
and expulsion (CIE) in Turin. This study is being conducted as part of a clinical legal training program, which
is a program run by the International University College of Turin in cooperation with the University of Turin
and Eastern Piedmont University in Alessandria.
The research is limited to experiences of detention that occurred in Turin from January 2011 to June 2012.
The objective is to investigate and analyse whether the treatment of immigration detainees in Turin’s CIE
meets Italian, European and international human rights standards. The project also aims to inquire into
systemic and individual problems faced by detainees, their families and people who work in CIEs.
The project began in January 2012 and it will be developed by collecting and presenting diverse insights into
the situation in the CIE. A qualitative survey will be composed of questionnaires and interviews aiming to
discover holistic information about experiences of immigration detention in Turin. We will be investigating
issues relating to human rights law as well as broader socio-legal issues including mental health, the effects
of separation from family, experiences of language barriers and any hurdles faced to accessing legal
assistance or in understanding the Italian legal framework.
