The approach taken by the researchers for the research development was from the quantitative approach, through the inquiry, collection and critical analysis of documents and bibliographic references, based on the methodical exploration of various documentary sources, articles, rules and laws, describing the findings. The analytical and synthetic method was also used. The techniques and instruments used were the survey, a sample of 13 law professionals from the city of Salcedo was chosen. It is concluded that preventive imprisonment is not a punishable action, it is a precautionary measure, described in Art. 522 of the COIP, which also details alternative measures that could also be considered. It is important to clarify that preventive detention will be applied only after considering the principle of innocence of the suspect.
