Valor jurídico del informe periódico sobre actividades en el sistema penitenciario ecuatoriano.

Abstract

This article analyzes how the detailed six-monthly Periodic Report on Strategic Socio-Labor Activities granted to persons deprived of liberty (PPL) violates the rights of detainees. This report has a significant influence on the request for a sentence reduction if the inmate complies with corrective measures through work programs, education, etc. Therefore, this research demonstrates the importance of a report submitted by the public servant responsible for the coordination and organization of strategic socio-labor activities to the highest authority of the local penitentiary. The latter is then given an accountability and management report within six months. This is too long a time, and it violates the rights of people deprived of liberty and fails to guarantee its transparency. It also undermines the country's justice system. For this purpose, a four-section structure was proposed: theoretical framework, legal framework, legal problem, and proposed solution. Finally, it is suggested to reform two legal bodies, such as the last paragraph of Article 12 of Resolution No. SNAI-SNAI-2022-0069-R.
