Prisions has been failing in relation to the purposes of resocialize people who have broken the law. Within this framework, prison education is applied as a treatment with rehabilitation purposes, which relegates other possible meanings. This research analyzed the social representations about education in prisioners of Cali, Colombia. The social representations found were related to the utilitarian meaning of education, such as redemption penalty, occupying time or establish stronger and warmer social ties with their families and the rest of society once the sentence was completed, being this one type of social representation crossed by the ideals of re-socialization.

Keywords : social representation; prison; education.
