Relatos para una segunda oportunidad. La escritura epistolar de las mujeres de El Buen Pastor. Experiencias a partir del Diplomado en Herramientas pedagógicas entre el 2017-2018

Abstract

The present research responds to the identification of the construction of subjectivity in relation to the resocialization of women deprived of liberty in El Buen Pastor, participants of the Diploma in Pedagogical Tools, based on the correspondence between 2017-2018. The methodology focused on the analysis of the discourse of 15 letters written by the inmates who expressed in a group and individual manner their disagreements with the media, the implications in their daily environment and the consequences for their existence in the penitentiary center. Likewise, the hermeneutic paradigm was used, which allows for the understanding and interpretation of social phenomena. In this sense, a partial description of the most general problems of the prison population in Colombia, especially women, is presented. By means of the qualitative analysis tool Atlas. Ti, it was possible to identify three categories of analysis surrounding the epistolary writing of women deprived of liberty, being: Media approaches, Prison as a social space and Life perspectives, the structure from which their perceptions are freely expressed, finally giving room for subjectivity. The reflections that are raised focus on the existing contradiction between resocialization and the Colombian punitive system, the importance of analyzing the pedagogical experience of institutions outside prisons and the improvement of educational conditions for the population deprived of liberty.
