Abstract
Considering the deprivation of liberty in penitentiaries and prisons as an unconstitutional
state of affairs, as stated multiples times by the Constitutional Court, permanent
deprivation of liberty in police stations and URI’s presumes an aggravated infringement
to the essential guaranties of persons deprived of their liberty. Therefore, the following
article’s objective is not solely the realization of a constitutional control of the present
situation in the aforementioned places, but also to present some alternatives that
should be developed in order to rise above the current crisis brought on by an expansive
criminal law policy.
