Therefore the authors refer to the international law applicable in this case in relation to the persons deprived of liberty and the general obligations of the State in matter of human rights. Additionally, the conditions of imprisonment in Chile and specifically those of the San Miguel Prison are addressed. Finally, it is argued that the omissions in the duty of care of the agents of the State and the obligation of the Judicial System to sanction constitute serious violations of human rights of the persons deprived of liberty and their families.
