El trabajo penitenciario en “La modelo”: Un análisis desde el discurso y desde la experiencia

Abstract

In the present paper, we try to analyze the penal labour as a part of the progressive treatment for the resocialization, since its planning by the prison institutionality represented by the National prison institute INPEC, until it execution in the Prison “La Modelo” in Bogotá. As it will see, in the start point from the prison treatment -what it is the resocialization-, it produces a shortage of clarity, which spreads in the objective that will tend the INPEC’s programs to, and in last place, the purpose of the punishment. Likewise, the labour as a social value is focus from the prison range and area, not as a creator and enhancer way in the world that surroundsto the mankind -such as it was considered by Marx-, otherwise as a method how the inmate returns to the economic system from that it has turn off, to fight to survive in it. Additionally, the Action plan and opportunities System (P.A.S.O.), as a scientific guide in the application of the clinical treatment to the sick-inmate, doesn’t wants tothe energy and strength of him modifies the world that involves him, only that he shall accept resignedly the conditions from the social contract, in despite that the other programs -as Social Work and Psychology- wants to generate individual welfare in the inmate, and a “healthy” relationship with their social and familiar environment. Thus, is possible say that in this prison it reveals similar conditions to the described by Foucault, when he indicates that the prison is a power system that vinculates man with the work.
