Peoples (CDI) and the Attorney General utilise programs aimed towards contributing to generating the necessary conditions so that indigenous peoples and communities and their members exercise their collective and individual rights established in national and international legislation, promoting mechanisms and procedures for access to justice based on the recognition and respect of cultural diversity. At the same time, through the Project of Release of Indigenous Prisoners, the CDI assists indigenous individuals who find themselves at the disposition of judicial or administrative authorities or who are involved in matters of a legal character such as penal or penitentiary matters, and are further assisted by interpreters or translators with pertinent cultural and linguistic experience. In the framework of this project, the actualization of the “Diagnostic of the Indigenous Population Deprived of Liberty” has been undertaken, with which the number of indigenous men and women who found themselves imprisoned in the national penitentiary system were identified, in addition to knowing their cultural and socioeconomic characteristics, as well as their judicial situation, which has allowed for the design and execution of strategies focusing on and favoring this population. Finally, I would like to highlight that the Attorney General of the Republic has implemented since 2010 a Program in the Service of Indigenous Peoples, which has as an objective guaranteeing the constitutional rights of members of the indigenous communities who are subject to federal procedures, with the goal that they be assisted at all times with an interpreter or translator with pertinent cultural experience and certified in their indigenous tongue. Thank you very much. ____________________________ According to the results of said actualization, the indigenous population deprived of liberty is 8,502; which represented 4% of the national penitentiary population. The Administrative Organ for Concerted Prevention and Social Re-adaptation of the Secretary of the Interior registered a national penitentiary population of 239,941 people in the month of September 2012.
