El incumplimiento de la responsabilidad subsidiaria del estado, por falta de seguridad en los centros de rehabilitación social.

Abstract

The violation of the right to personal integrity of persons deprived of liberty in Ecuador is eminently high, primarily due to non-compliance and breach of the State’s subsidiary responsibility and the lack of security guarantees within Ecuador’s social rehabilitation centers. This situation exposes people deprived of liberty to various risks to their integrity, including physical and psychological violence, sexual abuse, and extortion, among others, associated with this type of crime. This reality not only violates the fundamental rights of individuals deprived of liberty but also undermines confidence in the criminal justice system and promotes a cycle of violence and criminality. It is essential for the government of Ecuador to assume its responsibility for protecting the human rights of those deprived of liberty and to take concrete measures to ensure their safety and well-being.
