The excessive and selective use of the deprivation of freedom has become a controlling tool, filling our prisons with those excluded from society.

Normalmente cuando se habla de la víctima del proceso penal se piensa en la víctima del delito y se olvida que la principal víctima es el privado de libertad. Este trabajo analiza e problema del aumento del encarcelamiento con especial atención al caso chileno. El uso excesivo y selectivo de la pena privativa de libertad la ha transformado en un mecanismo de control, llenando las cárceles de marginados. Tras un análisis general de las principales causas del aumento del encarcelamiento: el desmantelamiento del Estado social (acompañado de una mayor punitividad) y el populismo punitivo (como resultado de un discurso demagógico vindicativo), se analizará la selectividad con la que opera, los efectos que produce y las ventajas que supone para grupos muy minoritarios. Todo lo anterior hace del encarcelamiento masivo algo ilegítimo e intolerable en una sociedad democrática. Concluye este trabajo con propuestas alternativas y factibles al encarcelamiento masivo, compatibles con el respeto por la dignidad humana.2019text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6934331(Revista) ISSN 2525-510XRevista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal, ISSN 2525-510X, Vol. 5, Nº. 1, 2019, pags. 93-114engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
