Quienes somos
Esta es una página no oficial, pero recoge buena parte del trabajo del Área Jurídica del Dpto. de Pastoral Penitenciaria católica española. Esta Pastoral, como acción de la Iglesia, trata de responder a las necesidades del hombre y de la mujer presos en toda su integridad. Por eso, se articula en tres áreas: Religiosa, Social y Jurídica. Por la misma razón trata de intervenir no sólo “durante” la condena sino antes (prevención) y después (reinserción). El Área Jurídica está coordinada por el sacerdote y jurista José Luis Segovia y la abogada y profesora de Derecho penal, Raquel Benito López (raquel.benito@icam.es) y se articula con todos los equipos jurídicos de las delegaciones y capellanías penitenciarias. Su preocupación , entre otras, es que el Derecho dignifique y humanice el sistema penal y penitenciario, favoreciendo las oportunas reformas legales e implantando la mediación penal y otras figuras de la Justicia Restaurativa.

This Pastoral care, as a Catholic Church action, aims to satisfy the most essential needs of men and women in prison in all their wholeness. For this reason, it is divided into three areas (Religious, Social and Juridical) trying to cover the interest of prisoners not only during their imprisonment time, but also before and during detention or custody period so as to ensure (crime prevention), and after they complete their service (social reintegration). This Juridical Department is a joint project coordinated by José Luis Segovia, priest and jurist, and Raquel Benito Lopez (raquel.benito@icam.es) lawyer and Criminal Law Associated Professor. The notion behind it is to bring together all the juridical teams involved in prison chaplainances work and their respective Dioceses. Its main challenge is the development of a good Legal practices which dignifies and humanize penal and penitentiary system, through the implementation of communitarian penal mediation and other figures of Restorative Justice, and also the promotion of legal reforms.
