Análisis jurídico y crítico sobre la efectividad del sistema penitenciario en el proceso de rehabilitación y reinserción social de las personas privadas de libertad en el Centro de Privación de Libertad Santo Domingo N°1 durante el periodo 2025

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to conduct a critical analysis of the effectiveness of the prison system by identifying the structural factors that hinder the rehabilitation process. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including dogmatic, legal, and statistical analyses, to determine the factors impeding the effectiveness of the prison system. The inductive, deductive, analytical, and synthetic methods were used to interpret relevant doctrine, regulations, and comparative law. The analysis revealed several factors, such as corruption, budget shortfalls, prison overcrowding, lack of trained personnel, and non-compliance with rehabilitation programs, that compromise the effectiveness of the system and contribute to recidivism. Therefore, it is essential to improve public policies, prioritizing respect for human rights and implementing rehabilitation and treatment programs for incarcerated individuals, thus guaranteeing their rehabilitation and reintegration. This approach is based on and serves as a model for countries such as Finland, Norway, Spain, and Australia.
