Informe de la Comisión de Cárceles

Abstract

The image contains news about the report of the Prisons Commission addressed to the deputies. The report details the visit and examination of the two existing prisons in the capital, pointing out that both buildings are in a deplorable state and without any security. The capacity of the facilities is insufficient for the current number of prisoners, which aggravates the conditions of detention and equates the penalties between serious crimes and minor offenses. It is highlighted that some inmates have been detained for decades without having received a sentence, which shows a lack of judicial speed. In addition, the insufficient adequacy of food rations is mentioned, affecting a significant number of inmates. News published in El Constitucional de Cundinamarca. October 8, 1841.
