| Summary: | The prisons in Latin America live a crisis that exists in a continent that suffers from endemic violence and inequality. Faced with this crisis, education in prisons and the work are social inclusion strategies of prisoners. We observe that more and more programs and laws to promote the work in the prison systems in Latin America. But these initiatives face different obstacles, first there is a counterproductive competition between labor and educational activities, we insist that both should be complementary to achieve a successful social inclusion. In an overview of the Latin American programs, we insist that labor activities should be undertaken for the benefit of the internal and not the many private companies that produce in penitentiaries, so it is recommended that both the cooperative promotion as the collaboration of ONGs in strategies comprehensive ranging from remission of sentence to the improvement in prison conditions.

Las prisiones de América Latina viven la crisis penitenciaria que existe en un continente a su vez que sufre violencia y desigualdad endémica. Ante esta crisis, la educación en prisiones así como el trabajo constituyen estrategias de inserción de los presos. Observamos que existen cada vez más programas y leyes para promover el trabajo en los sistemas penitenciarios de América Latina. Sin embargo estas iniciativas se enfrentan a diferentes obstáculos, primeramente existe una contraproducente competencia entre las actividades laborales y educativas, insistimos que ambas deben ser complementarias para lograr una inserción exitosa. En una mirada general de los programas latinoamericanos, insistimos que las actividades laborales deben realizarse en beneficio de los internos y no de las múltiples compañías privadas que producen en los centros penitenciarios, por lo que se recomienda tanto el fomento cooperativo como la colaboración de ONGs en estrategias integrales que incluyan desde la remisión de la pena como el mejoramiento de las condiciones penitenciarias. |
