It was the Latin American Academy of Criminal and Penitentiary Law, who assumed this attitude, considering that a mental, reflective and dialogue review should be carried out, in order to join the legs of the same table, related to the penitentiary system, directly or indirectly, observing the difficult living conditions of those deprived of liberty, in the different prisons of Latin America.
For this reason, it is considered necessary to work so that the rights of prisoners are fulfilled.
From there, the conclusion is reached to take Liberté and his actions as the preponderant tool to be used as a model of self-management in Latin America and declares each of its activities of institutional interest.
Next, we transcribe the document:
