Abstract

The Juvenile Detention Centers that exist in Ecuador, do not have the necessary requirements, both in space and in programs for reintegration into society of those who are in them. It is for this reason that a design of this type was proposed in the city of Guayaquil, that meets the infrastructure conditions that similar centers in other countries have. Therefore, a bibliographic investigation was carried out on other centers around the world to take the most important aspects that can be applied to Ecuadorian reality, furthermore, surveys were conducted with experts on the topic of reintegration. From the data obtained, it was found that in the country and especially in Guayaquil. The Juvenile Detention Center do not meet the characteristics that these rehabilitation centers should have, given that overcrowding can be glimpsed because of the poor design of those, which does not allow an environment suitable for the treatment of interns. It is concluded that the design of a juvenile detention center in Guayaquil is feasible, to solve, in part, the needs existing in these centers, proposing the construction of the same in the adequate area, where the environment is conducive for young offenders to be rehabilitated.
