The entry into force of the progressive regime established by the Act has made it necessary to build and equip open prisons, known as "Casas de Paso", which accommodate prisoners granted semi-release: this means that they work during the day but return to the prisons at night to sleep and that they are able to visit their families at weekends.
Con la vigencia del sistema progresivo establecido en la Ley, ha sido necesario la construcción y equipamiento de Centros Abiertos, denominados "Casas de Paso", en los cuales se alberga a los internos ubicados en fase de semilibertad, lo que significa que durante el día trabajan, por la noche llegarán a dormir a estos centros y los fines de semana visitan a su familia.
