This proposal takes place as part of an agreement between the Culture and Education Ministry of La Pampa and the Penitentiary Unit No 4. This is an alternative to give the convicts of that institution the possibility of studying the Secondary School for Adult People. The student population, people with long sentences, do not show expectations related to work world, academic reasons or intention of developing personal knowledge for citizenship as it is prescribed by the three functions of the Federal Law of Education. Some analogies between penitentiary and education institutions moved us to consider that the expert knowledge had to be adapted to this particular context. In this way, it is not expected the exact adaptation of prescriptive formula made outside that context or surrender to the proposals and explanations transmitted by the pressure of dominant interests.
