La efectividad del sistema penitenciario en el Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The penitentiary system encompasses the social rehabilitation of the person who has committed a crime and must comply with a penalty, therefore, refers to the methods that must be followed for the rehabilitation and effective reintegration into society. Therefore, it can be said that the prison system must meet certain conditions, such as adequate physical space and work in the areas of health, education, work, family and social ties, culture and respect for their fundamental rights. In that order of ideas, the Ecuadorian penitentiary system should meet certain requirements, but currently our prisons face a prison crisis, as there is a serious problem of overcrowding, lack of public policies and resources by the State. Therefore, sustainable and applicable solutions that improve the current situation of the prison system are required, since due to this, fundamental rights of persons deprived of liberty are being affected by affecting their dignity, physical and mental health.
