Análisis de la efectividad de las medidas adoptadas por el estado para abordar la crisis carcelaria en el Ecuador y su relación con la política criminal.

Abstract

The prison crisis in Ecuador is a problem that has caused significant complications, not only within the penitentiary centers, but also within society as a whole; thus, the relevant authorities have sought ways to mitigate the problem through several measures, including implementing efficient criminal policies that protect human rights, security, control, and, even more importantly, rehabilitation, to reintegrate into society individuals who were re-educated and are ready to start a new life stage. In this work, some aspects of the problem have been analyzed, such as the causes and consequences of the prison crisis in Ecuador and how the government has faced this crisis; the results demonstrated an evident lack of efficient criminal policies and a failure by the State to prioritize the reintegration of individuals deprived of their freedom, as suggested by the Constitution. In this research, deductive research was used in which general principles were applicable to deduce conclusions in the study area; a bibliographic review of articles by different researchers that provided vast information about the prison crisis in recent years was also used.
