El habeas corpus correctivo como garantía de protección de los derechos de las personas privadas de libertad en el Ecuador.

Abstract

The present investigation has as its central object of study, the habeas corpus in its corrective typology. The rights of persons deprived of liberty have been recognized as rights of persons and groups of priority attention in the Constitution of the Republic; however, in general, the extremely poor conditions in which the State maintains the social rehabilitation centers are known, so that the rights of the people who are under the tutelage of the state are affected in parallel. The corrective function of habeas corpus, allows those deprived of liberty who assume that they suffer or have suffered damages while in prison, to go before a constitutional judge to repair the rights that are identified as affected. This dimension of habeas corpus is not developed in a precise way neither in the Constitution nor in the Law, but at the national level there is already a notable jurisprudential development at different levels, which allows its consolidation and functionality in the territory of the Republic.
