Abstract: Through Law no. 254/2013 on the execution of punishments and custodial measures ordered by the court in criminal proceedings, continue changing the approach of the the treatment of detainees.

The dignity of the human person is a tool to interpret the quality of the life in prison which first requires that the authorities to refrain prejudice to everything that posits his respect, then, to determine the authorities to act to ensure this respect. Transposition of human dignity in the prison environment involves a radical change in conceptions about prison, inmate and his treatment.
