RANGEL, Hugo. Educación contra corriente en las cárceles latinoamericanas: la enseñanza vs el castigo. Educ. Real. [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.01, pp.15-32. ISSN 0100-3143.

Promoting education in prison is latterly a difficult task. This paper’s objective is to examine the structural causes of this complex situation. We have accomplished a research on official documents and laws, and visited prisons in many Latin American countries, in order to produce this study. Among the many discussed issues, we may highlight: impunity and the failure of the justice system; the limits of punishment; punishment as an ideology; the punishment imagery and the institutional contradictions.
