Abstract

Spanish Abstract: Este trabajo analiza los medios previstos en el Código penal español para promover la realización voluntaria de comportamientos postdelictivos positivos por parte de los presos, que responden a la necesidad de proteger los intereses de la víctima, destacando la existencia de un subsistema penitenciario de excepción para los condenados por delitos de terrorismo o relacionados con organizaciones o grupos terroristas. En segundo lugar, este trabajo también discute si el hecho de que se protejan los intereses de la víctima durante la ejecución de la pena de prisión sirve al objetivo de resocialización del condenado o si se convierte en un obstáculo para su reinserción en la sociedad, teniendo en cuenta que la introducción de consideraciones victimológicas solo es aceptable si no se afecta a este fin básico de la pena privativa de libertad.

English Abstract: This paper analyses the means available in the Spanish Penal Code to promote the voluntary execution of positive post-criminal behaviour that responds to the need to protect the victim’s interests by prisoners, highlighting the existence of an exceptional prison system for those convicted of organising or belonging to terrorist groups and terrorism. Secondly, this paper also discusses whether the fact that the prison sentence protects the victim’s interests serves the purpose of rehabilitating the offender or, whether it becomes an obstacle in their reintegration into society, leading to the introduction of victimological considerations only being acceptable if they do not affect this basic objective of enforcing the custodial sentence, and can therefore serve as a useful element of custodial treatment and as data to be used for judgement purposes in risk assessments that should be carried out at different points of the enforcement.
