Sistema carcelario Ecuatoriano y Derechos de los PPL desde el garantismo

Abstract

This research work is focused on analyzing the evolution of the Ecuadorian prison system and the human rights of the PPL from the point of view of the "garantismo". This is to determine that throughout the prison history in our country, there are still remnants of previous places called "houses adapted for prison", which were nothing more than places in which the repression of prisoners was exercised. This reality has not changed completely with the passage of time, thus causing that, at present, persons deprived of liberty do not fully enjoy their rights, due to the problems of: corruption; overcrowding; violence; deficient infrastructure; lack of trained prison staff; lack of treatment and/or programs to curb the consumption and addiction to various psychotropic and narcotic substances; lack of control and supervision of prohibited objects; among others. In addition, these failures make it impossible to achieve the objective of the deprivation of liberty, which is to achieve correct rehabilitation in the different Social Rehabilitation Centers of the country and a successful reintegration of the PPL into society. In this context, the present research work used a methodology with a qualitative approach, documentary-bibliographic type, and a logic of reasoning of inductive character to meet the objectives of this project. Therefore, this research work is of great importance, since it analyzes, determines, and establishes relevant aspects of the Ecuadorian prison system and the rights of persons deprived of liberty from a guaranteed perspective.
