Una Mirada Crítica a Través del Enfoque de Derechos Humanos en la Política Pública Carcelaria del Sistema Paso (Plan de Acción y Sistema de Oportunidades) en la Ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

Public policies are the ways in which the state intervenes in society, in order to meet its objectives and satisfy the needs of the civilian population, one of these public policies is that of prison resocialization, which has as its objective the reintegration into society of the people who have committed any contravention or crime. In Colombia, this public policy is materialized through the PASO system, whose objective is reintegration into civil life. This system has a large number of shortcomings, which results in the systematic violation of the human rights of persons deprived of freedom. The main objective of the article is to explain the shortcomings of the PASO system and how the recent governments of this country have done nothing more than try to solve the crises that have occurred within the prison system with short-term measures. Taking advantage of the methodological advantages of the descriptive qualitative research model, which will open a range of possibilities to explain the problems of the PASO system, in the same way the collection of information on how the PASO system is applied in the city of Bogotá. Thanks to the analysis proposed in the article, it is argued that short-term measures are the solution, but rather a sustainable policy, in the same way that resource investments without clearly defined objectives cannot improve the resocialization system in Bogotá and Colombia.
