Abstract

The study developed here aimed to analyze the report derived from the first national inspection in therapeutic communities whit a focus on violating human rights in the practice of so-caled “labor therapy”. The objective is to analyze how labor therapy is developed in the inspected therapeutic communities and its effectiveness in the social reintegration of te shelter; as well as the possibility of the shelter not to develop labor therapy and its use as a form of punishment for any breach of local rules. The source of information is the detailed report and each of the points raised to understand the methodology of labor therapy and the possible existence of violation human rights was addressed, resulting in the finding that most of the therapeutic communities visited at the inspection use labor therapy as a forced labor method, with no benefit for combating harmful drug use by the inmates, which demand is met by the appropriate
authorities.
