About this statute

This is the preamble of Law 1709 of 2014, which states that the Congress enacts reforms to certain articles of Law 65 of 1993, Law 599 of 2000, and Law 55 of 1985, and issues other provisions. Toda persona es libre. Nadie puede ser privado de libertad o sometido a pena, medida de seguridad o detención sin base legal y, para la detención, mediante mandamiento escrito de autoridad judicial competente. This provision says prison measures in the law must use a differential approach, and the national government must set special confinement conditions for certain processed or convicted people tied to peace-process demobilization or a Law 975 alternative sentence benefit. This provision defines prison, arrest, and security measures, and says fines cannot be a condition for liberty-related benefits. In detention facilities, dignity and human rights must be respected, violence is prohibited, and restrictions on people deprived of liberty must be necessary and proportional.
