Abstract
Amartya Sen (2000) sostiene que la libertad es constitutiva de la persona y su expansión es fin
e instrumento para su florecimiento. Libertad para que pueda «llevar el tipo de vida que valora
y que tiene razones para valorar» (p.34). ¿Cómo conciliar esta mirada con el sistema
penitenciario que restringe, regula y priva de libertades a las personas que han roto con el
orden social? ¿Pueden expandirse libertades en reclusión? Y si es así ¿de qué manera? En esta
primera aproximación al tema, nos centramos en la persona recluida y suponemos que –como
en otros contextos de privación– formulan estrategias para lograr funcionamientos valiosos –lo
que ellas valoran ser y hacer– y así expandir sus libertades; gracias a un conjunto de
oportunidades –grietas– más allá del control institucional. Planteamos de esta manera, una
investigación exploratoria, cualitativa, mediante el estudio de un penal de máxima seguridad
de mujeres, como estudio de caso. La investigación permite identificar espacios concretos
(físicos y relacionales) construidos simbólicamente en función de los usos y representaciones
del tiempo y el espacio, y de las formas cómo se relacionan, establecen vínculos, negocian y se
organizan las internas entre ellas y con “otros” para no vivir la vida que quisieran, pero sí una
vida mejor en reclusión.
Amartya Sen (2000) argues that freedom is constitutive of the person and its expansion is the end and instrument for its flowering. Freedom in order that she can "lead the kind of life that they value and that they have reasons to value" (p.34). How to harmonize this look with the penitentiary system that restricts regulates and deprives of freedoms the persons who have broken with the social order? They can expand freedoms in imprisonment? And if so, in what way? In this first approximation to the topic, we centre on the imprisoned and assume that, as in other deprivation contexts, they can formulate strategies for to achieve valuable functionings - what they value to be and do - and thus expand their freedoms; thanks to a set of opportunities - cracks - beyond the institutional control. We propose in this way, an exploratory, qualitative research, through of the study of the penal one of maximum safety of women, as a case study. Research allow to identify concrete spaces (physical and relational) built symbolically in terms of the uses and representations of time and space, and the forms how they relate, they establish links, negotiate and organize between them and with "others" so as not to live the life they would like but yes a better life in imprisonment.
