Impact on Quality of Life in Incarcerated Individuals: A Theoretical Reflection from the Cognitive Perspective of COVID-19
Authors: Ana María Lozano Hurtado, Gustavo Adolfo Gutiérrez Puerta, Isabela Gutiérrez Rivera, Cristian David Gaviria Giraldo, Valeria Cárdenas Parra
Abstract: The bibliographic review addresses studies conducted concerning incarcerated individuals and how their cognitive conditions have been affected by factors influencing their quality of life. The experience they underwent with regard to COVID-19 is particularly significant. While the pandemic affected individuals in normal living conditions, its impact on incarcerated individuals was even more pronounced, given the suboptimal psychological, mental, emotional, legal, and physiological conditions within the Colombian prison system.
