César Vallejo remained in prison for one hundred and twelve days in 1920-1921. This circumstance left a very important mark in his life and in his poetry, which we propose to investigate in this work. We begin by reviewing the texts of Trilce and Escalas in which this experience is recounted; we analyze in them certain characteristics that imply the concretion of some of the themes present in Los heraldos negros, and also an announcement of his later books, especially Poemas humanos. According to our reading, Vallejo's poetry becomes more conscious of the corporeal through the prison experience, and the days in jail are also decisive for the formation of a poetics of solidarity.

Among the masterpieces Quevedo wrote while he was in jail at San Marcos de León, Providencia de Dios is a text that has been thoroughly studied over the last decade. This paper aims at examining more specifically the presence of mockery in this treatise in which satirical and theological matters tend to meet. We would also focus on how Quevedo read Tertullian's De anima in a wide fragment he reproduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the first half of the twentieth century, the Argentine newspaper Crítica was one of the most notable spaces for the spread and consolidation of crime stories. At the same time, it was the newspaper that gave the most prominence to the situation of prisoners in local jails. This article hypothesizes that the popular press—inextricably linked to detective literature—was not only the first publishing platform for the circulation of numerous stories and novels of the genre but was also an optimal place for the construction and consolidation of the representations and procedures implemented in detective and crime literature. This article works to identify the textual features in which informative and fictional components are combined in a set of articles published in Crítica between 1922 and 1933. It also analyzes the ways in which Crítica presented these articles in its print space to give them relevance among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After the conquest of the Aztec empire, the region to the northeast of New Spain remained in the hands of several indigenous tribes until Philip II granted Luis de Carvajal de la Cueva permission to begin the colonization of that region. Although Carvajal was now allowed to discover, pacify and colonize that territory, he did not have the necessary money to start the enterprise. In the first part of this article, I will consider, based on archival documents, who could have provided the funds. Although the documents found so far do not clearly show it, I believe that it was Miguel Núñez, Carvajal's fatherin- law, who contributed the largest part of the initial cost. The second part presents a brief biography of Núñez, whose interesting life included four years in the jails of the Inquisition, and was spent in Portugal, Spain, Morocco as well as in other parts of the New World, particularly in the island Hispaniola.

As repressive imprisonment began in Spain following the Republican defeat in the Spanish Civil War, incarcerated poets and literate prisoners turned towards writing and verse for catharsis, resilience and a way to escape their painful surroundings. They sent their relatives letters which sometimes took metrical, poetic forms in order to lyrically reconstruct their emotions. On the threshold of death, even those facing capital punishment managed to condense their unspeakable emotional experience thanks to metrical moulds that captured prison itself, as well as its attendant collective suffering.

In this paper we propose to investigate the strategic occupations built by the pentecostalevangelical religious device in contexts of confinement in terms of the role they play in government tactics exercised by the prison service in Argentina. Its appears with the democratic recovery in 1983 and its consolidates from the negative effects caused by prison. In that sense, we will analyze the historical, political, legal and institutional variables in the beginning and consolidation of religious device, the social order and the pentecostal narratives in churchpavilions to recognize their terms, constraints and potentialities for the reconfiguration of power relations in prisons today.

The present study deepens in Otto Parellada 's revolutionary trajectory, one of the martyrs of the armed rising of November 30th, 1956. It is determined that in spite of having lived less than thirty years, a man that transited precociously to convinced revolutionary's condition, convinced and willing to the necessary action but on the base of a thought that bases it. It has been three significant moments that existed for their radicalization: The exile in the United States, the initial period in the confrontation to the dictatorship and that of the stay in the Jail of Boniato, and that in each one of these significant contexts it incorporated experiences that allowed him to deepen in the situation of the country and to mature in the conceptions as for the ways and methods to take ahead the revolutionary transformation and to solve the pressing ones problematic historical of the nation.

The brutal economic depression in which post-Civil War Spain sank pushed many women to resort to prostitution as their only means of subsistence. The pro-Franco authorities had annulled the republican abolitionist decree and sexual commerce was again tolerated. Nevertheless, the uncontrolled height of prostitution compelled the authorities to react and special jails for “misled" women were created. We analyze the publications of this postwar period related to the psychology of prostitution by three individuals working in key institutions at the time: Antonio Vallejo Nágera (University of Madrid, National Health Council), Eduardo Martinez Martinez (Penitentiary for Women Psychiatric Clinic) and Francisco J. Echalecu y Canino (Patronage for the Protection of Women). The publications by these three authors and their investigations on Spanish prostitutes led them to characterize these women as innate chronic sexual psychopaths, with mental deficiency and amorality. This diagnosis was used to justify their confinement for reform in special jails for “fallen" women. In this way, the publications by Vallejo, Martinez and Echalecu y Canino were instrumental to justify the establishment of these special jails. The conceptual frame of the biopsychology of German inspiration was used to service the social project of the pro-Franco biopolitics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article's main objective is to present the state of library organizations Chilean prisons in the period 2010-2012, through basic quantitative indicators. The study identifies and describes three types of library organizations; Libraries, Learning Resource Centers CRA and finally Collections. The results of the study suggest that there are privileged and inmates have access to libraries and represent 12.1% of the prisons. The 62.6 % of the units of the Chilean prison system library services have at least basic, for its population. As for the staff in charge of the library organizations 19.3% are librarians however, 68.4 % of these organizations are run by a professional, whether librarian or teacher. The current Chilean law does not consider the existence of library services in criminal and therefore the foundation and maintenance of libraries or similar institutions depend wills of the relevant authorities.

Introduction: characterize the risk of suicide and depression among a group of inmates in a jail in the state of Quindio (Colombia). Methods: a relational-descriptive methodology was used along with a non experimental design; ISO-30 and IDB surveys were distributed among a sample of 34 inmates between the ages of 18 - 51, who were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: more than 75% of the inmates presented a moderate to high risk of suicide; 56% reported depressive symptoms in a moderate to high degree. An important correlation among these two variables was found. The confrontation sub scale of the ISO-30 yielded a mean of 8.81, which places it with significant results; the remaining results are among median values. Conclusion: it is significant to determine risk factors in this population and strengthen the investigation in this field, from an interdisciplinary focus, which will facilitate an early detection and prevention of suicidal contact [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the political violence and subordination in the Peruvian Theatre by the Communist Party-Shining Path in Peru in 1980.

The Argentine prison system shows a significant deterioration, overcrowding and lack of government intervention, in a context of institutional, social and economic difficulties. Such conditions are ripe for conflict, as occurred in the province of Mendoza in March 2000, the motín vendimial. Taking as a reference point such disturbance, this paper analyzes the current situation of the prison system in Mendoza, specifically, the living conditions in prisons, the various parties involved and finally discusses alternative proposals for prison systems. Apparently, the riots are not only a manifestation of violence and revenge between them internally but also a way of claims due to living conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to explore the construction of the professional identity of Alex (a pseudonym), a physical educator in charge of sport and physical activity in a Spanish prison. To this end, we used a biographical-dialectic perspective based mainly on interviews especially focused on prior experiences, contextual resources and the micropolitical strategies Alex used in his workplace. The search for better job conditions and professional recognition mediated the strategies he used during the daily negotiation of his professional identity. Yet, this identity was also constructed in a dialogue between his experiences in sport and the performance discourse present at the macro-social level. This study exemplifies a particular, yet not unique case of professional socialization that helps illuminate the (re)construction of identity of those physical activity and sport professionals who work in marginal contexts.

Este artículo propone recuperar la perspectiva pedagógica en las prisiones. Se analizan algunas causas que han provocado la desprofesionalización educativa de las prisiones en España. Por un lado, el tratamiento se considera un conjunto de actividades para entretener a los presos. Por otro, el tratamiento se considera un conjunto de terapias muy especializadas para determinados delitos con una alta repercusión social. Este enfoque está reflejado en las normas penitenciarias europeas. Estas normas no mencionan los términos de reeducación, rehabilitación o resocialización. La actividad de las prisiones las llevan a cabo, sobre todo, ONGs sin capacitación profesional educativa. Este artículo analiza también las dificultades teóricas para poder pensar las posibilidades educativas en entornos cerrados. Nuestra propuesta es que la reeducación supone promover el principio de actividad en el preso y entender la condena como un tiempo de actividad muy controlado. Como ejemplos de esta línea se menciona el modelo comprensivo de los estilos de vida buena aplicados a los presos y los llamados "módulos del respeto". En ambos casos se puede observar un cierto intento educativo por crear las condiciones que ayuden a los presos a vivir la experiencia del cambio personal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is a reflection or a small contribution from foulcaulnian notion: biopolitics. The item tries to explicate how was possible the torture in Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo jails. The new concept, biopolitics of the torture, support it in an innovative interpretation from the international laws like Geneva Convention whit this new concept. However, this essay it's not a legal reflection. Firs of all, I tray to explain how the sovereign power -biopolitics- (the U. S. government) set ups in the bare anatomy of the prisoner to torture him and turns him in bare life. And how this sovereign power turns a biopolitics of the torture within structure exception, an emergency state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.
