La crisis de la resocialización en Colombia

Abstract

The treatment of resocialization in Colombia has been a problem that has greatly affected the entire prison system so that, in the treatment of the prisoner, shortcomings have been evidenced, such as: corruption within the prison, poor health and hygiene conditions, empty in the process of resocialization, failures in the educational programs for the prisoner, high rates of prison overcrowding and recidivism in the commission of punishable behaviors. Throughout the document, it will be possible to analyze that resocialization is a process that has been framed in failures since the beginning of criminal proceedings against an offender of criminal law, which has produced high rates and indices of prison overcrowding, high rates of recidivism in the commission of crimes, gaps in the prison infrastructure, gaps in the provision of health services, violation of minimum living conditions and human dignity; which has led to the fact that there is currently no effective social reintegration in the country and one of the purposes of the sentence is not being fulfilled, such as the resocialization of the prisoner.
