Visibilización del fenómeno social de los presos sindicados en Bogotá

Abstract

The accused prisoners in Colombia are subjects who are investigated by law in order to later prosecute them for their alleged participation in a crime, however, these individuals are redirected to penitentiary centers such as prisons, immediate attention centers (CAI) or police stations without even having been charged with the crime of which they are accused, therefore, not only are they subject to being presumed innocent until proven guilty, but their judicial procedural guarantees are not invalidated. Consequently, they are at the mercy of deprivation of liberty because they are a possible risk to society, which leads to multiple criminal injustices against them, such as violation of the right to liberty, violation of the principle of the presumption of innocence, discomfort in unworthy and unsafe spaces caused by overcrowding, This makes the accused prisoners become victims of the State and of the penitentiary entities, and their lives are marked by stigma and discrimination against them because, due to their background in prisons, they are subsequently prevented from achieving a good life and a good standard of living, which hinders the resocialization of the former prisoner. Therefore, the following research aims to make visible, through a series of chronicles, the criminal injustice of the accused prisoners in prisons or police stations in Bogotá.
