Análisis del artículo 19 de la ley 2466 de 2025 e implicaciones de su aplicación retroactiva
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-09-29) Arias Prisco, Adriana María; Javier Tamayo, Francisco
This thesis examines the interpretation of Article 19 of Law 2466 of 2025 and its implications for Colombian criminal law, particularly regarding the penitentiary policy of sentence redemption as a mechanism of resocialization (Colombia, Congreso de la República, 2025, art. 19). The provision not only serves as a tool to shorten periods of incarceration but also represents an effective means of safeguarding fundamental rights of persons deprived of liberty, such as human dignity, equality, due process, and the resocializing function of punishment. The potential retroactive application of this article, based on the principle of favorability, could generate a significant legal and social impact by reducing prison overcrowding and improving reintegration conditions. Considering the Constitutional Court’s recognition of an unconstitutional situation in the prison system, this study argues for an interpretation that enhances fundamental rights protection and contributes to the humanization of the penitentiary system.
