Law 14,843, enacted on April 11, 2024, significantly amended the Criminal Enforcement Law by requiring mandatory criminological examination for regime progression, severely restricting temporary releases, and authorizing electronic monitoring: changes that intensify the rigor of criminal enforcement, contributing to overincarceration and violation of the principle of individualization of punishment. Case law has established that these innovations do not apply retroactively to convictions prior to the law's entry into force, respecting the principle of criminal nonretroactivity. The measure also increases costs and overburdens technical teams, with a clear negative impact on resocialization.
