Abstract
The overcrowding crisis in the local prison system has been addressed through decongestion strategies based on the flexibility of house arrest and detention. However, these measures have been adopted without considering the implications of the Special Subjugation Relationship (SRR) when house arrest is used. This article is the result of a broader investigation of on criminal policy and house detention in Colombia and shows how the essential elements of the SRR undergo an important transformation, affecting the classical constitutional doctrines defining the content and scope of the fundamental rights of prisoners.
