Cárcel especializada en reclusión femenina (CERF) Educación y productividad un medio de reintegración

Abstract

Currently, the prison system in Colombia faces different kinds of problems, starting with high rates of overcrowding in prisons, followed by alarming figures of recidivism, which leads to an incessant search for restructuring the prison model. Prisons, due to their location in cities, are facilities that have an impact on society and on the city. Due to the accelerated demographic growth, the boundary between prisons and the city has not been respected for the proper functioning of the proposed order. The conflicts derived from the implementation of these prison facilities are reflected at the urban level, interacting with their surroundings and causing a failed implementation. Therefore, it can be inferred that their main objective has not been achieved to date, since they are limited to isolating the convict from society as a method of punishment. This problem could be addressed to minimize the negative impact from multiple disciplines, such as urban and architectural design, which have elements and functional relationships to provide a solution to the urban impact that the prison itself entails. Based on these shortcomings, there is a clear need to relocate El Buen Pastor prison, projecting a low security prison architectural proposal, focused on women whose sentence does not exceed 10 years, assuming that the labor productivity they still have is taken advantage of, since most of them are women between 18 and 40 years of age.
