| Summary: |
This review article investigates academic research about the debates surrounding prison crises that expose overcrowding and the bets on criminal policy reforms to address these situations. For this purpose, a documentary analysis as a qualitative research method is used based on the Scopus database review. Of the 393 results obtained, the following exclusion criteria were executed: disciplinary area, study period, and thematic relevance, which let us with 78 viable documents. The analysis was performed in VOSviewer, allowing us to group the papers into three categories: the crisis in the prison system, conflictive situations in prisons, and response options for criminal policy. The results and conclusions are obtained after the implementation of a content analysis, which allowed us to notice that there are three debates around the subject: Studies that indicate the challenges that prison systems present in reducing overcrowding, those that account for the endogenous situations that are evident by the crises, and finally the proposals for criminal policy reforms. |
