ESCAFF-SILVA, Elías; FELIU-VERGARA, María de la Paz; ESTEVEZ-MERELLO, María Ignacia e TORREALBA-HENRIQUEZ, Camila A. Psychosocial consequences of innocent persons being deprived of their liberty. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2013, vol.55, n.3, pp.291-308. ISSN 1794-3108.
This study was aimed at describing the psychosocial consequences aff ecting individuals who after having been deprived from their liberty were found innocent. The theoretical frame included concepts such as legal psychology, the presumption of innocence and the in dubio pro-reo, i. e. "when in doubt, for the accused" principles, judicial truth, deprivation of liberty, and the eff ects of prisonization and social stigmatization. The instrument used in the gathering of information was a semi-structured interview which succeeded in accounting for the psychological and social consequences of deprivation of liberty for innocent people wrongfully convicted, according to the juridical truth. The study concludes with the ratification of such eff ects and consequences and the usual difficulty in error detecting and correcting.
