Aportes y limitaciones del modelo casa libertad en la integración social y productiva de la población pospenada en Bogotá: un estudio de caso (2019 -2025)

Abstract

This study analyzes the strengths and limitations of the post-prison care model Casa Libertad in Bogotá with regard to the social and productive reintegration of the ex-offender population (2019–2025). Using a case study approach, the researchers conducted a literature review and interviewed key stakeholders and program participants. The analysis was structured around a categorical matrix that integrated the themes of human rights, social reintegration, stigmatization, recidivism, and support networks, using thematic and content analysis techniques, as well as source triangulation. The results show progress in the implementation of a comprehensive, human rights-based model organized around individual, family, community, and productive dimensions. However, limitations were identified regarding inter-institutional coordination, continuity of care, and effective access to employment opportunities, reflecting the presence of barriers to social inclusion. It is concluded that, although the model contributes to the prevention of recidivism, its effectiveness depends on the capacity of public policies to transform the structural conditions of exclusion. Recommendations are proposed aimed at strengthening the rights-based approach, employability, and territorial coordination.
