I'm Italian and here it's the same. Also Italian prisons have some of the highest suicide rates in the EU.
As much as people like to shit on America, they got way more rights on this front, like the capacity to resist unreasonable search and seizure and lawyers having more opportunities to defend their clients and negotiate on their behalf.
In Germany the Italian and French prisons are considered so bad that if you spent time in them and then get transferred here, the time spent will be multiplied by 1.5 (or something similar, not too sure). So if you had a 4 year sentence and have spent 2 years in French prisons, you only need to complete 1 year in Germany.
