El hacinamiento carcelario: la vulneración de garantías procesales y derechos fundamentales para sindicados y condenados recluidos en una misma institución penitenciaria en Colombia

Abstract

The overcrowding in jails and prisons in the country, has become a problem for the coexistence of inmates in Colombia; since they are in an environment that presents minimal sanitation and hygiene, which violates the dignity and may compromise the health of inmates, by the proliferation of diseases. A precarious and inadequate physical structure to house the number of prisoners in the country, plus the lack of a coherent criminal policy and long-term vision to prevent crime, punish violations of criminal law and most importantly re-socialize the offender. The violation of rights in prison overcrowding is generated by the lack of structure of these detention centers, and the little contribution to their health and hygiene for inmates. With proper separation of these two: Syndicated and convicted may be fought one of the reasons why there is overcrowding as the population of the accused get to do nearly half of those convicted, leaving quotas to prisons and centers prison.
