Instituto Nacional Penitenciario Y Carcelario Inpec

Instituto Nacional Penitenciario y Carcelario (INPEC) is a significant national institution located in Bogotá, Colombia, responsible for overseeing the country’s prison and correctional system. Although its primary mission centers around penitentiary management and inmate rehabilitation, the organization also supports health and welfare initiatives within correctional facilities, working closely with public health institutions to ensure humane and secure environments.

INPEC plays a vital role in maintaining justice, discipline, and social reintegration, focusing on rehabilitation programs, vocational training, and psychological care for inmates. The institution collaborates with various government agencies and civil organizations to promote education, healthcare, and reintegration opportunities for those under its care. Its structured approach aims to balance security with human development, fostering reform and social responsibility among incarcerated individuals.

Under the leadership of José Hilarion and through its partnerships with health and welfare entities, INPEC continues to contribute to Colombia’s broader goals of justice and human rights.
