MUNOZ-CORREA, Kevin Andrés. Violation of rights and child welfare in Peruvian prisons. Iustitia Socialis [online]. 2025, vol.10, n.19, pp.85-101.  Epub Nov 20, 2025. ISSN 2542-3371.  https://doi.org/10.35381/racji.v10i19.4559.

The general objective of the research was to analyze the violation of rights and child welfare in penitentiary establishments in Peru. It was approached from a quantitative method, focusing on data collection to generate descriptive information. This process was complemented with an exhaustive documentary-bibliographic review. A questionnaire for data collection was applied to a total of 30 mothers and fathers imprisoned in the “El Milagro” Penitentiary Center in the District of El Milagro, Province of Trujillo, Department of La Libertad, who have children from 0 to 03 years of age. In addition, the inductive-deductive and analytical-synthetic methods were applied. It is concluded that, the presence of children in penitentiary establishments generates a significant violation of their fundamental rights and compromises their integral wellbeing and prevents an optimal development, evidencing the urgent need for measures that prioritize the best interest of the child outside these restrictive environments.
