La pena privativa de libertad en mujeres embarazadas como una imposición jurídica : un estudio crítico en Latacunga durante el año 2020.

Abstract

The purpose of this analysis document is to address the issue of the imposition of custodial sentences on pregnant women, who are serving a sentence at the Cotopaxi Center for the Deprivation of Liberty No. 1, located in the Latacunga canton during 2020; This violates the exercise of their constitutional rights, since no pregnant woman can enter a detention center to serve her sentence until 90 days after delivery, or if the pregnancy occurred after the custodial sentence, alternative measures should be preferred, to In the latter case, there is no procedure in the penitentiary regime. As there is no procedure in the current criminal regulations that guarantees their rights and the regulatory regulations that regulate the stay of pregnant women deprived of liberty in prisons are in force, this is contrary not only to current criminal regulations and international treaties of human rights. It is necessary to regulate an adequate procedure for the protection of the rights of pregnant women deprived of liberty that guarantees due process and legal security.
