This article studies the real experiences of the previously incarcerated homeless population in the city of Valencia. After examining existing published national and international literature for the links between the phenomena of incarceration and homelessness, it established indicators that can measure the social exclusion resulting from their intersection. Following this, dichotomous variables were selected (length of imprisonment and the current category of homelessness) and a typological sample group of previously incarcerated and currently homeless population was formed. In-depth interviews focusing on the preestablished indicators were conducted with the group and in parallel, social professionals and/or experts who work with the affected population were also interviewed. Finally, using the Atlas.ti.23 programme, the adversities that the study's target group faces were described and the impact that the length of the incarceration and the category of homelessness had on the group's chances of social inclusion was analysed. This study also presents proposals to combat the resulting extreme social exclusion. In this sense, it highlights the importance of support programmes following prison release that are based, amongst other factors, on the provision of a home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are specific treatment programs in prisons for those convicted of sexually assaulting minors; however, those who also have pedophilia require specific attention. The aim of this study is twofold: first, to offer a specific intervention proposal for pedophilia in the prison setting based on the available scientific evidence, and complementary to the Sexual Assault Control Program, and second, to justify this proposal through the case of an inmate with pedophilia. Specifically, we propose an individual intervention focused on people with pedophilia; working on low self-esteem, assessing suicidal ideation and restructuring cognitive distortions with minors, facilitating the creation of functional personal relationships with adults, assessing past polyvictimization and its possible influence on subsequent sexual behavior, providing inmates with psychoeducation on pedophilia; specifically addressing sexual fantasies with minors, avoiding dyssexual behavior, and eliminating the consumption of abusive material.

Since the enactment of the 1991 Colombian Constitution, a legal and institutional framework has been established to address the political demands of multiculturalism. This article examines the incarceration of indigenous individuals in this multicultural context and highlights the various factors influencing the adoption of penal confinement as a response to indigenous criminal behavior. The article traces the process by which indigenous special jurisdiction has embraced incarceration over the past two decades and examines the potential factors that have led to transcending the multicultural boundary with imprisonment as the dominant punitive form. The emergence of a special legal subject--the incarcerated indigenous individual--indicates the outcome of this collision between legal worlds, placing them in the liminal space of identity uncertainty, reintegration impossibility, and the latent potential for the disappearance of their cultural identity.

Introduction: Elderly prisoners are a minority in the prison population but their number is increasing compared to other groups. Mental health problems in elderly prisoners can be caused by the length of the detention period, being separated from family and partners, and conflicts that occur between inmates in prison which worsen the mental health conditions of elderly prisoners. Research on mental health problems in elderly prisoners is also still limited. Method: A scoping review study design was used. Articles searched through PubMed, EBSCO, ProQuest, Sage Journal, and Google Scholar. Articles published from 2000 to 2023. The keywords used in English are "Elderly", "Mental Health Problems", and "Prisoners. Results: Of the nine articles analyzed, we found the mental health problems of elderly prisoners were anxiety, agoraphobia, depression, bipolar, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide risk, mood disorders, psychosis spectrum disorders or schizophrenia, and alcohol abuse or dependence. Conclusions: Based on several findings, it is recommended for further research focus on providing appropriate interventions for elderly prisoners who experience mental health problems, as well as identifying the extent of mental health services for elderly prisoners.

The crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented impact on all spheres of social life, generating deep cleavages whose inscriptions in the psyche are still diffuse and difficult to apprehend from the prism of the Social Sciences. Both the prolonged isolation, the curtailment of social life, the proximity of death and the omnipresent experience of risk of exponential contagion, represented a strongly anxiety-inducing scenario, where the uncertainty of the existential future became the main epochal anchor. However, within the unprecedented coordinates of strong turbulence and unpredictability in the times of COVID-19, due to its endemic confinement, prison contexts were one of the most vulnerable scenarios. In this framework of greater isolation, within INISA, which is the institution in charge of managing the deprivation of liberty of adolescents in Uruguay, video calls were enabled in an unprecedented way, an aspect that progressively became established as a tool within of psychosocial technical teams. This article aims to problematize and systematize, in an exploratory manner, various experiences and hermeneutical categories associated with the use of techno-communication platforms as psychosocial intervention tools in prison settings.

The text describes the implementation of the residential pre-release program in the Uruguayan prison system, which is based on the risk-need-responsivity model (RNR). This model, developed by Canadian researchers, is the one with the greatest empirical evidence of effectiveness in the treatment of criminal behavior. The program described here was designed in 2021, and its main purpose is to reduce the likelihood of recidivism. It focuses on people at high risk of recidivism, addressing their criminogenic needs in an intensive and structured manner. The results of institutional monitoring showed that 96 people participated in the program, of which 61 were released. Of those released, 28 % returned to prison within one year of release, while 24 % have remained at liberty for more than one year. International evidence indicates that treatment programs based on RNR have a reduction in recidivism between 12 % and 50 %, which varies according to different factors, including the definition of recidivism reported by each study, the time period to be considered for measuring results, the number of principles of the model applied, the fidelity of the programs in their implementation, and the training of those who carry them out.

In this paper, we present the results of the systematization and analysis of the final papers of the Peer Tutoring course (TEP) with students from the University of the Republic (Udelar) in prison (EUPL). This course was designed to strengthen the entrance and retention of Udelar students in general from the perspective of collaborative learning, which has an impact on the dynamism of learning processes both for those who tutor and for those who are tutored. The TEP developed lines focus on populations or situations that merit specific educational support, including those oriented to EUPL. This specificity invites us to problematize the scope of the TEP in this context as well as to think about the new meanings that the tutors construct. Since it is a central part of the university policy of teaching in prisons, this article focuses specifically on the subjective discursive constructions of the tutors. To achieve this, we use a methodology of documented review of the final papers of those who took the peer tutoring course in the 2019 and 2020 cohorts. The results we present here refer to the learning and subjectivity production processes of the peer tutors after taking the TEP course, as exposed in these papers, distinguishing three dimensions: the vision of the prison after having been tutors in that context, the perspective of education in prisons, and the implications of the TEP in the personal learning trajectories of those who carried out the tutoring.

This article is one of the products of a research project about student trajectories in incarceration in the University of the Republic. The information was gathered using a mixed-method approach, which included the application of a semi-closed form combined with workshops and interviews in the various prisons that make up the university circuit of Udelar. From this application, data on the perceptions of those who study at the university regarding their place in identity construction, teaching-learning strategies, and the policies deployed by the institution were obtained. This article addresses the perception of students about central university policy, particularly regarding teaching-learning strategies and institutional deployment in the territory. By "central," it refers to those policies that do not depend on the faculties but are promoted as policy for all people, regardless of the careers they choose to pursue at Udelar.

This work addresses the treatment that some Argentine prisons give to the bodies that pass through prisons from the perspective of detained women and their relatives. The proposal consists of exploring some stories linked to the ways in which mothers have gone through the deaths of their sons in the context of prison. It explores how violence is produced and reproduced in Argentine prisons and what the role of women is as detainees or family members in dealing with this pain. How is death processed when prison imposes its borders? What are the roles that men and women assume to process this pain? It also explores the specific ways of desubjectivizing pain that prison aims to impose, with the purpose of reflecting on the affective forms that people construct even in these contexts. The article is based on fieldwork begun ten years ago with relatives of detainees. It is a multi-situated ethnography that follows people linked to penal institutions. Fieldwork also included life histories with women deprived of liberty in a prison in the province of Buenos Aires. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper addresses the possible contributions of development studies to university education in prisons, from the work in the Central Team of Students in Deprivation of Liberty (EPL) of Udelar (Universidad de la república) and the bibliographic review of the specific literature on the subject. It seeks to contribute to the debates on higher education in prisons, from development perspectives, linking theories to a particular program. In particular, it will discuss the link between education in prisons, the capabilities approach, the rights perspective, human development and within this, universities for development as one of the central lines for university policy.

This paper addresses a reality insufficiently studied in penitentiary centers: the impact of participation in leisure, sports, and cultural activities on the desistance process of incarcerated individuals and as a protective factor against committing new crimes. It was carried out in one of the eight ordinary regime penitentiary centers that the Generalitat of Catalonia (Spain) has in its territory. In this exploratory research, a quantitative design was chosen to allow a static, confirmatory reading of the benefits of leisure, sports, and cultural activities in penitentiary contexts, focusing on improving competencies that benefit desistance processes. The results show the perceived benefits by the incarcerated individuals and how these influence positive identity construction processes. Some recommendations derived from the results obtained are provided, which may suggest actions in penitentiary treatment and the design of public policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes conflicts in interpersonal relationships among women in prison in Spain. Three indicators of low conflict were identified: minimal number of sanctions, typology of crimes, and avoidance practices. The factors of incidence found are internal conflict, family/social conflict, and coexistence in a single module. The need for socio-educational programs and penitentiary policies with a gender perspective is emphasized. [Extracted from the article]

The essay we present in various voices aims to develop a profound ponder that reflects our journey through prisons as higher education teachers. Among our intentions is to systematize the pedagogical practice that we carry out based on the fact that we are not part of a penitentiary-reintegration pedagogy, which is why we are interested in exposing our teaching position from a critical approach towards the penitentiary system and its insistence on overshadowing everything that seeks to subvert or escape punishment as a notion that regulates and constrains subjectivity. Against the grain, we maintain that Education in Contexts of Punitive Confinement promotes spaces for dialogue that open processes of human dignity, recognizing subjects beyond the figure of the criminal. This is how we consider it relevant to analyze our teaching experience in prison, highlighting that it is part of a collaborative process where ethical and political positions also promote questioning the paradoxes entailed by the aspiration to make the right to education effective in confinement.

This article is derived from the master's thesis entitled "Penitentiary Sites in Bogotá: A Study on the Modelo Prison", and it is oriented to review how communication is developed within this penitentiary site from certain daily practices. It works with the schizomethod, which allows for the integration of complex perspectives within the context and theories that surround the problem. Three axes of approach are proposed: (a) The communicative context in the Bogota Modelo Prison; (b) The penitentiary site; (c) Body and resistance in prison. From a rhizomatic perspective, it is not intended to exhaust the analytical horizon, but to present some reflections on the communicative within the penitentiary site, concluding, among other things, that communicative actions support a sociological structure where prisoners deploy communicative and bodily strategies to face the penitentiary site.

This paper addresses the new problems arisen after the recent judgement from the Spanish Constitutional Court ratifying revisable permanent prison. We need to bear in mind that Constitutional Law 1/2015 introduces permanent revisable prison for the very first time in the Spanish sentencing system. This sentence faced serious problems of constitutionality that were highlighted by a report made by a group of experts that would serve as a basis for the action of unconstitutionality presented in June the 30th 2015. It has taken six years for the Constitutional Court to solve this action in the sadly predictable sense to consider this penalty as constitutional; nevertheless, three dissenting votes pointed in the opposite direction. This decision has left an open door that certain political parties have decided to take and advantage of, in a punitive turn to extend this revisable permanent prison to new criminal situations. So, this work seeks to analyze the ramifications of this judgement, contributing to the reflection on permanent revisable prison and its escalation, so as the problems that it raises.

This article analyzes legislative projects on prison reform presented to the Chamber of Deputies during the first presidencies of the radical party (1916-1930). The multiplicity of initiatives carried out by deputies of different political backgrounds to reorganize the prison system showed how institutions of punishment should be addressed. The context in which these projects were framed, the problems they sought to solve, their specificities, as well as the coincidences and differences they presented is reconstructed through the article. In this way, the importance of Parliament in the prison reform process in Argentina is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although there is a growing social and academic interest in understanding why hate crimes are committed, there are very few empirical studies on this crime typology. This study aims to overcome these limitations by examining the characteristics of a sample of hate crimes offenders. To this end, 33 criminals who committed hate crimes were compared with 38 people convicted of other types of crime. The results show that those who committed hate crimes are mostly male, younger than other criminals, and single. In most cases, they lived with their family of origin, lacking a partner relationship or job stability. Finally, compared to the group of common offenders, hate crimes appear to be related to membership in organised gangs. Interventions to reduce recidivism in this type of crime should be based on the specific characteristics of the group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychometric properties of the Levenson's Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) are evaluated in incarcerated (n = 300) and non-incarcerated (n = 248) samples in the Mexican population. The models that have been reported in previous studies were tested by means of a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Brinkley's trifactorial model was the one presenting the best fit, whose indicators were similar to those reported in previous studies. Regarding reliability, a Cronbach's alpha =.766 and McDonald's omega =.761 was obtained for the total scale. The observed results provide theoretical and practical support on the dimensionality of the psychopathy construct. Implications for both research and assessment of psychopathy in correctional facilities and in the general population are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Prison intervention/treatment actions are aimed at addressing the in/reintegration of convicted persons. However, there are few references and results of these actions. This paper aims to analyze the intervention programs in Spain and their relationship with the processes of female in/reinsertion and recidivism. A descriptive univariate and bivariate analysis was performed on a sample of 310 female inmates surveyed in open regime. The results indicate that employment education programs are most in demand, followed by life skills and gender-based violence programs. There is greater participation in the ordinary regime (between 50% and 60%), with repeat offenders standing out (75.3%), which questions the adequacy of their needs in professional actions. The findings show the importance of updating the penitentiary interventionaction from a socio-educational and gender perspective, adapted to the characteristics of women for their in/reinsertion.

This article analyses how the Colombian State has governed inmates' resistance. We will show how the State has encouraged the use of formal mechanisms to resolve the disagreements and concerns of inmates and discouraged protest inside prisons. The Constitutional Court's judicial interventions have recognized massive violations of fundamental rights, and attempted to channel fundamental rights' protection through the legal system. However, the persistence of violations, accompanied by the exclusion of protest as a mechanism of resistance, leaves the inmates immobilized between a constitutional discourse without material effectiveness and the threat of violent repression of their acts of resistance. To this end, this article presents a case study about the fight for fundamental rights and the collective resistance of the inmates of the Modelo Prison in Bogotá. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The spanish prison and penal system has seen how the presence of women in prisons has been increasing in the recent years, having the largest female prison population in Europe. There is also an overrepresentation of immigrant women. This article aims to understand the different difficulties faced by foreign women from an intercultural and gender approach, highlighting how being a woman, a foreigner and an offender entails multiple-discrimination leading to a poorer reintegration. For this purpose, an exhaustive search of the Spanish literature has been carried out about the state of the female penal enforcement in Spain, focusing on foreign and non-EU women. Likewise, this article has allowed us to verify that there are few studies in Spain related to the discriminatory situation of immigrant women in spanish prisons and therefore, the intervention and reinsertion measures are not based on the specific characteristics and needs of this group.

In this article, we reflect upon the carceral drifts adopted by gender equality policies in Spain. With the aim of making a contribution from feminisms and social work perspectives, this work carries out a comparative analysis on carceral policies addressed to women, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, on protection policies for women victims of gender-based violence. Based on our fieldwork in Andalusia (Spain) for more than 10 years, as well as on legal and programmatical text analysis, we question the alleged control/protection separation, highlighting the existence of gendered carceral logics in both contexts. We highlight the social control to which women are subject and for which subjects women to the image of a “good victim” on the one hand and a “good mother” on the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The seventies are the most explicitly militant period in Foucault's career. A key concept in the first half of these years, and one that will prove fundamental, both in understanding the birth of prison and of crime, is that of illegalities. The purpose of this article is to trace the influence that readings of E.P. Thompson's work by Foucault had on the development of this concept of illegalisms, the silent dialogue established between the two authors around two concepts: the subsistence riot and illegalisms. As well as the analysis of the different meaning and objective that this concept is acquiring in Foucault's work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To identify the characteristics that make up the psychosocial risk factors that have an impact on suicidal behavior in Colombian prisoners, in order to improve the psychological care provided in penitentiaries. Method: Documentary review article, of qualitative type, carried out through a collection, review and analysis of 50 documents; of which 13 articles were selected for the elaboration of the results. During the research, the elaboration and distinction of the document is taken into account, according to the collection and organization of information collected through databases such as Scielo, Scopus, Oxford, Science Direct, Redalyc, Pubmed, among others, Therefore, the categories and subcategories developed during the investigation corresponding to the topic to work are discriminated. Results: Key psychosocial risk factors were identified, such as: prison ionization, family or affective bond, use of psychoactive substances, life plan, psychological problems and time of sentence; presented by the prison population worldwide, which are taken into account to reduce suicide rates in prison settings. Conclusions: The documentary review identifies the risk factors and protective factors that allow the timely detection of suicidal behaviour in persons deprived of their liberty, taking into account that some of the risk factors may also be protective factors, such as family ties, the life plan, the process of imprisonment and the time of sentence, and other factors if they are highly relevant because of their risk in suicidal behavior; such as substance use and psychological problems.
