BENAVIDES VANEGAS, Farid Samir. Alternatives to the privative penalty of freedom. Derecho glob. Estud. sobre derecho justicia [online]. 2017, vol.2, n.5, pp.37-56.  Epub 23-Out-2020. ISSN 2448-5136.  https://doi.org/10.32870/dgedj.v0i5.72.

The penalty of deprivation of liberty has entered into crisis in Latin America, in general, and in Colombia, in particular. The increase in the number of persons deprived of their liberty makes national budgets higher and higher, a situation which in the long run will be unsustainable. It is necessary to look for alternatives to the custodial sentence, but not to increase the control network and not to impose a cost or control greater than the penalty of imprisonment. In this text I am not concerned with analyzing the prison crisis in Latin America and Europe, but with the alternatives that are presented in the literature to deal with it. It is a simple review of the various options. In another larger text I deal with the question in its entirety.
