Abstract

Resumen El objetivo principal de este artículo es tratar el tema del hacinamiento carcelario en Colombia. En este contexto se tocarán aspectos teóricos y éticos de la economía y el de- lito, teniendo en cuenta conceptos de economía ortodoxa y heterodoxa como oferta, demanda, costos y utilidades del crimen que influyen en la decisión de delinquir. Además observaremos las causas del hacinamiento en sus variables cuantitativas y cualitativas, número de presos existentes y la capacidad instalada de las cárceles, número de centros de reclusión en el país; con el agravante de las condiciones sociales de desempleo, deficiencia en la prestación de la salud, falta de educación, violencia, distribución desigual de la riqueza, entre muchas otras. Se plantean posibles soluciones a los aspectos tratados anteriormente, como fortalecimiento del sistema penal, de una educación con calidad, de seguridad pública y de valores inculcados desde una edad temprana.
