La necesidad de regulación sobre la visita íntima en establecimientos penitenciarios y carcelarios. Un estudio comparado el caso de Colombia y Suiza

In the field of penitentiary and prison systems, research and development have always kept at the very forefront, responding to situations that may arise during the execution of convictions. In many cases, significant progress has been made, especially when fundamental rights are violated or restricted. However, other aspects have been overlooked, without even being recognized as guarantees that require protection through mandatory regulations.That is the case of intimate visits within penitentiary and prison facilities, something that, even today, lacks a clear definition, a solid legal framework, and rules that allow for its proper implementation. This article aims to explore the concept of intimacy, examine the ways in which it can be regulated, and, most importantly, emphasize the need to recognize it as a fundamental right that fosters some connection between life in confinement and life in freedom
