El derecho a la reinserción social y la falta de políticas públicas en Ecuador

Abstract

Although the Ecuadorian Constitution guarantees the right to social reintegration of citizens deprived of liberty, the lack of adequate public policies hinders compliance. Problems in prisons, such as overcrowding and the absence of rehabilitation programs, are highlighted, as well as how these deficiencies negatively impact the reintegration of former inmates, increasing criminal recidivism and compromising public safety. The research employs a qualitative methodology, using analysis, data collection, and literature review techniques. A deductive-inductive approach will also be used to study general and specific public policies aimed at reintegrating incarcerated individuals. A normative and legal analysis focused on constitutional rights will be conducted, evaluating all elements, parts, and components to synthesize them and clearly understand the issue. In conclusion, the article emphasizes the urgent need to develop and implement effective public policies that ensure the right to social reintegration for individuals who have completed their sentence. Keywords: reintegration, social, policies, implementation.
