dc.description.abstract | What happens to institutional trust when fundamental human rights are not respected
by the laws meant to protect them? The social and political environment spurred by the Covid 19 pandemic proved difficult for policymakers and the public alike, but perhaps those with the
least agency fared the worst, prisoners. This thesis theorizes the concept of loss of institutional
trust as a consequence of “empty policies”, through a feminist constructivist grounded theory
study of Decree 546 and its effect on female detainees in Colombia. Intended as a decarceration
measure to reduce the rate of Covid-19 transmission among inmates as a means of protecting
the rights and health of detainees, few were eligible for release under the law due to a lengthy
list of exclusions. The exclusion of drug-related offences had disproportionate impacts on
female detainees, whose demographic makeup represents one of the most vulnerable groups in
Colombian society both inside and outside the carceral system. An exploration and analysis of
Decree 546 and responses to it, underpin the theoretical assumptions made in this thesis, where
then, parallels are drawn to the wider context of the Colombian government’s responses to
issues facing the country’s most vulnerable groups. | en_US |
