La historia de la infancia en el mundo, y en particular en América Latina, cuenta con aristas diversas y complejas que de un modo u otro develan un modelo de sociedad que se ha ido construyendo a lo largo de los tiempos. En este sentido, han sido numerosos los esfuerzos para lograr una legislación que regule y garantice los derechos de l@s niñ@s y que obligue a los Estados a activar mecanismos adecuados para su protección. Pero la realidad de l@s niñ@s que se encuentran alojados junto a sus madres en las cárceles argentinas aún requiere de un fuerte debate, tanto en los ámbitos públicos como académicos. A partir de esto es que nos proponemos plantear la discusión, intentando arrojar algunos elementos para el debate desde el enfoque de los derechos humanos. Para ello, y a partir de una recorrida por la historia y los antecedentes en la temática, nos interrogamos acerca de las posibles alternativas frente a una realidad compleja que nos interpela día a día.The history of childhood in the world, and particularly in Latin America, has divers and complex edges which, in one way or another, show a model of society which has been constructed during a long period of time. They have been numerous the efforts to obtain a legislation which regulates and guarantees the rights of the kids and which require the State to activate the adequate mechanisms to protect them. Actually, children are accommodated in Argentinean prisons with their mothers, and this fact is still to be discussed on public and academic milieus. It is from this point of view that we have the intention to set this discussion out, trying to contribute to the debate from a Human Rights perspective. With this aim, reconstructing the history and taking into account the available information, we start to pose the question about the possible alternatives against a difficult reality which we have to face daily.

En este trabajo se aborda la problemática del acceso a la educación y a la información con la que cuentan los internos del Servicio Penitenciario Federal Argentino. Se analiza cuál es el sentido que le otorgan los internos a su educación en el contexto carcelario y de qué manera utilizan estos recursos en su existencia precaria en la institución carcelariaThis paper is about the access to education and information available for the prisoners of the Argentine penitentiary system. We discuss the meaning that prisoners give to education in the particular context of a jail and how these resources are used by the prisoners in their precarious life there.

Keeping up a relationship with a prisoner is a challenge to modern western conventions on what constitutes romantic involvement. The punitive supervision, prohibition and surveillance characteristic of prison life render such liaisons extreme examples of control over personal life. This study uses data from ethnographic work carried out in the visitors' waiting room of San Quentin prison and from interviews of women whose partners are in jail to identify four specific types of interaction between couples during the time the man is incarcerated. Through their efforts to «be together» and support their loved ones, women take their domestic environment to the prison so that a series of punishments — stigma, blame, invasion of privacy, rules, spatial limitations and time restrictions — are reflected in the home. Interpreting D. Clemmer's concept of «prisonization» as the socialization of prison norms, this study argues that, even if they are not physically present in the prison, women are subject to «secondary imprisonment» by way of institutional control and regulation, given that the methods they use to keep in contact with their partner involve giving up their private sphere and turning it into an extension of penal control.
