TARTARO: arquitectura carcelaria como vehículo de reinserción social- Bogotá D.C

Abstract

Architecture Prison is "(...) a physical space in which the person deprived of liberty and their environment, where a particular lifestyle survival, adaptation, subjugation, cultural, social and educational interaction is found." (INPEC, prison glossary, 2013), only spaces are conceived, designed and built to house criminals or individuals deemed dangerous to the rest of society. Its main objective is to reform the prisoner and return to society as an individual as well, through various activities such as: "(...) work, education, teaching and discipline (...)." (Beccaria 1764). However, due to overcrowding and deterioration of prison infrastructure does not meet this goal, becoming places of containment or step for individuals returning to commit a series of crimes even after released and usually learn new criminal behavior in these places. Do not forget that many of today's prisons, originally were not designed for this function, with possibly another cause for the prison crisis that today we live in the country. A project arises in favor of a real and effective prison resocialization aimed at inmates with minor penalties as theft, murder, manufacture, trafficking and possession of weapons, among others, understood as an urban phenomenon and a high impact use of context immediately. This proposal stems from the need to provide solutions to current and future prison problem in the country, described in high levels of overcrowding, unmet diseases, deficit in covering basic needs of prisoners, insecurity within prisons, among others.
