Análisis sobre los obstáculos para la construcción de una política pública penitenciaria en Colombia (1998-2014)

Abstract

Since 1998 the Constitutional Court has established twice the “the state of unconstitutional things” in front of the precarious conditions of the National Penitentiary System (SNPC), nevertheless, the institutional efforts to ameliorate this state have had some limited effects. As proof of this the rates of overcrowding and recidivism keep on rising chronically by the deficient operation of the system. This diagnosis with alternative of solution presumes that this situation owes to the absence of a complete public policy, considering the identification of principal obstacles for the construction of prison policy in Colombia between 1998 and 2014. The process before mentioned relies on the utilization of two methodological tools: the structural analysis “MICMAC” and the stakeholder’s analysis. The recommendations are elaborated on prison policy from the results of these three methods.
