Descripción:The human rights of persons deprived of their liberty is a doctrinal and normative analysisin contrast to the Ecuadorian penitentiary reality. This reflection visualizes the contradictionbetween the claims of guarantee and respect of the minimum rights of the people depriveof liberty and the reality that is lived in the penitentiary centers of Ecuador, according to thestatistical report of 2017, where a high rate of overcrowding is observed, whose consequenceis the violation of the fundamental rights that assist the prison population. There is a speciallegal relationship between the State and the prison population that turns that State into aguarantor of the minimum fundamental rights that these people have that is in a situation ofdouble vulnerability. The need to establish minimum rights for the treatment of persons deprivedof their liberty is based on human dignity, an attribute that is not lost with the limitation offreedom and hence explains the eagerness of the international community to urge governmentsto that protect and guarantee through the legal norm, the fundamental rights that tend topropitiate basic conditions that assure a dignified quality of life in prison. In conclusion, thelegal basis exists for the protection of the minimum rights of persons deprived of liberty, butthey have remained mere declaratory acts that require the will of the government embodiedin public policies that allow the efficiency and effectiveness of the norm.
