The objective of this work was to use the NeutroAlgebra theory to determine the factors with the highest incidence in the poor state of the social rehabilitation system in Ecuador. For this purpose, a survey was applied to a group of 56 experts in the field from the canton of Babahoyos. Neutrosophic Logic based on SVNS was applied to the DEMATEL method. The application of this method made it possible to determine the causal relationships between the initial elements and to focus the efforts of the interview on the causal elements of the main problems. Through the use of NeutroAlgebra it was possible to determine that, although in general, the results were satisfactory, unfavorable responses were observed in relation to the budget to carry out the different activities, the increase in crime in the country, as well as the lack of good prison reforms. The results allowed the fulfillment of the objectives and demonstrated the usefulness of neutrosophic logic in real-life problems.
