Resumen
POSADA, A. y DIAZ-TREMARIAS, M.. Prisos and inmates population in Venezuela. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2008, vol.10, n.1, pp.22-27. ISSN 2013-6463.
Despite the importance of prison issues in Latin America, there is little in the way of detailed local studies or recommendations on the subject. This article sets out to describe the situation concerning prisons and inmates in Venezuela. Data for this study was compiled from documentary sources and visits to a number of Venezuelan prisons from 1998 to 2006 as part of the Health Conference of the Programa Penitenciario de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, (Central University of Venezuela Prison Program). The program’s aim was to make contributions towards research on the prison environment at national and regional levels that might serve as a precedent for further study of the problems and issues that exist, and promote and implement possible solutions.
