THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF PRISONER RIGHTS IN CRIMINAL EXECUTION

ABSTRACT

The rights of prisoners in criminal execution are often disrespected and their effectiveness is flawed. Among the main reasons are the lack of investment and adequate structure of the prison system, the culture of punishment to the detriment of resocialization, bureaucracy and slowness in the judicial process, in addition to the lack of adequate inspection and control. Among the rights that are frequently violated are the right to health, adequate food, legal assistance, education and professional training, intimate visits and security. Many prisoners also suffer from overcrowding, precarious hygiene conditions and lack of access to basic services, such as potable water and adequate toilet facilities. The ineffectiveness of prisoners' rights can have serious consequences, such as perpetuating the cycle of violence and criminal recidivism, in addition to aggravating inmates' mental and physical health problems. It is fundamental that the penal system be reformed and that measures be taken to guarantee the effectiveness of the prisoners' rights and their resocialization.
