Abstract

This investigation was about the rights of the ones who are in jails and rehab centers all over Ecuador, and how they apply as the constitution saids. In all the rehab centers they have to apply all the rights, like the local and and international standards of law dictate. The state has to provide and guarantee dignity to the people in or out of jails. Any how in our country, we have several issues who attempt the rights to the inmates, they are: Overpopulation, big symptom of corruption and serious violations of human rights. The reforms in penal laws, now call penal organic code, who raise the penalties for the crimes committed, with that made several and urgent changes on the rehab centers to prevent overpopulation in jails. In matter of health, rehab center don´t have suitable places to treat inmates. In matter of nourishment, quality, distribution, quantity is very poor. Overpopulation took space for inmates for a better living.
