THE MISERIES OF THE PREVENTIVE PRISON. THE DIFFICULTY OF UNDERSTANDING THE INQUISITIVE PARADIGM OF OUR PROCEDURAL SYSTEM

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to examine the procedural institution of the Preventive Prison. For this purpose, it intends to specify if this measure is compatible with the paradigm change of our procedural system, and establish what is the reason for its existence. It also emphasizes the importance of language to build the meaning of legal institutions, thereby seeking to determine the legal nature of the Prison, deconstruct their material budgets, and question their current term. Finally, it concludes by providing recommendations to rationalize the use of the Preventive Prison, and noting that while currently seeking to propose criteria to harmonize with constitutional standards, it is impossible, because a Constitutional State can not admit that this institution inherited from the system Inquisitive remains in force, because it violates the state of innocence and the right not to be deprived of freedom without prior trial.
