Abstract

The current condition of the physical prison infrastructure in Colombia are alarming and, likewise, neglected. The evident lack of a proper (Colombian) architecture aPPLied to our territory is a major problem of which a number of notable problems are neglected: overcrowding is one of the problems that most affect the Population Deprived of Liberty (PPL) individually and collectively, these problems extend to other populations such as the families of the inmates and even to the dragoneantes or custodians themselves. The poor distribution of spaces inside a prison or [ERON] generates overcrowding, which in turn creates insecurity and terrible human conditions that go against decent living conditions for the PPL, taking into account that it is a space that will be occupied by inmates. A person sentenced within the National Order Detention Facility ([ERON]) should be treated to at least meet the normal humane standards. The architectural conditions of a penitentiary center must contemplate its immediate environment and today in Colombia this neglect creates more problems to its urban environment such as: social insecurity, perception of modifications in the urban landscape, illegal trade, devaluation of the sector and alteration of the land use; complications that can be corrected from a proper and proper prison architecture, new design criteria that contain the methodological and technical aspects that function as a basis for territorial entities in the scheme and construction of the new [ERON].
