Perspectiva analítica y comparada del estado de cosas inconstitucional en el sistema carcelario y penitenciario en Colombi

This research article analyzed the declaration of the Unconstitutional State of Affairs (ECI) in the prison and penitentiary system in Colombia, the development of the Constitutional Court that functions as a remedy as well as limitation to the general violation of the rights embodied at a constitutional level. The Court, guardian of the Constitution, has developed a progressive way in its judgements of the ECI figure, aiming to oblige the Colombian authorities to cause reconstruction, reorganization or adjustments in penitentiary institutions with the purpose of overcoming those structural factors that can be the cause of a pattern of abuse of people in jail
