Abstract

The objective of this research article is to analyze to what extent the Preventive Prison mandates could go beyond the limits of the investigation represented by the institution of the Principle of the Presumption of Innocence of the investigated person, to whom this measure is imposed. For this, a literature review is carried out in the databases of Scielo and Alicia; finding a population of 33 research papers and articles of which, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 are selected (between theses and articles themselves), which are analyzed. And they allow arriving at the worrying result of the scant consideration, treatment and analysis of the Principle of Presumption of Innocence of the investigated in the Judicial Resolutions that impose Preventive Prison within a process, thus leaving him exposed to the disproportionate and excessive application of coercive measures in against it and thus violating other principles recognized not only by the criminal procedural norm, but also protected by the Political Constitution of Peru, failing to comply with the requirements required for the imposition of this exceptional measure.
