| description | The current crisis of the penitentiary system in Ecuador based on the massacres recorded in recent years has drawn the attention of several national and international organizations in the field of Human Rights. Despite this, the lack of efficacy in putting a stop to this violence by the State has led to the presumption that prisons have become a perfect “criminal ecosystem” for the proliferation of international organized crime.This research aims to demonstrate the contributing factors that have allowed the infrastructure of the Ecuadorian super-prisons the Ecuadorian prison system to become a dangerous ultra-violent criminal ecosystem. In this sense, through qualitative techniques of documentary, interviews, official statistics and journalistic investigative reports, the criminal dynamics of the Ecuadorian prison system will be analyzed from the year 2019-2021. It will be argued that through the new infrastructure, the onslaught of historical prison self-government, inefficiency in prison management, drug trafficking, and the new social dynamics of the prison system have become an ecosystem capable of reproducing organized. This complex scenario generates the need to have a comprehensive dimension of the problem facing Ecuador. It is therefore necessary to have a holistic and long-term sustainable vision in the intervention to alter these factors of benefit and criminal projection.

La actual crisis del sistema penitenciario en Ecuador a partir de las masacres registradas en los últimos años ha llamado la atención de varias organizaciones nacionales e internacionales en materia de Derechos Humanos. Pese a ello, la ausencia de eficacia en poner un alto por parte del Estado a esta violencia ha llevado a la presunción de que las cárceles se han constituido en un “ecosistema criminal” perfecto para la proliferación del crimen organizado internacional. Esta investigación busca analizar los factores coadyuvantes que han permitido convertir la infraestructura de las supercárceles ecuatorianas en un adaptativo y peligroso ecosistema de criminalidad compleja que actualmente muestra nuevas y alarmantes formas de violencia. En este sentido, a través de técnicas cualitativas de revisión documental, estadísticas oficiales, entrevistas y reportes periodísticos de investigación, este artículo analiza la dinámica delincuencial del sistema penitenciario del Ecuador entre los años 2019-2021. Se argumenta que la embestida del narcotráfico, la política criminal y la dinámica delictiva y social del sistema penitenciario se han convertido en un ecosistema con capacidad de reproducción del crimen organizado a escala regional. Este escenario complejo genera la necesidad de tener una dimensión integral del problema al que se enfrenta el Ecuador. Es necesario entonces tener una visión holística y sustentable a largo plazo en la intervención para alterar estos factores de beneficio y proyección criminal.
