The article analyzes the reasonableness, democratic sense and criminological political foundation of the de jure suspension of the exercise of citizenship for persons deprived of liberty by way of punishment, as well as the de facto suspension of prisoners without conviction, that is, of people who are interned in prisons preventively, without having been sentenced to imprisonment. The author makes known, from a criminological perspective, his discrepancy with this policy, basing his position on liberal demo principles and criticizes the use of measures from the criminal law of the enemy to cut fundamental rights of people who have had the misfortune to see criminalized their conduct, thereby aggravating and perpetuating their marginal situation.
