| Summary: |
After fifteen years, the prison system’s situation in Colombia returned to its structural analysis by the Constitutional Court. On this occasion, after two new decisions regarding the unconstitutional state of affairs of Colombian prisons, the Court determined to refocus the understanding of the problem and issued orders of various kinds to avert the deficit of rights of persons deprived of liberty. Despite the numerous efforts by the Court, its judgments seem to have failed in the protection of the rights of imprisoned people, facing a crossroads that prevent the fulfillment of judicial decisions. This reflection paper analyzes these decisions in the light of general theories about structural decisions and, in particular, those related to the penitentiary and prison system. It aims to describe how the crossroads are expressed and it comes up with a judicial remedy to be debated, which can be considered a more efficient measure to ensure the immediate protection of people deprived of liberty. |
