Call for papers

This call is for a special issue dedicated to Work and Prison and the particularities that the intersection between these two worlds presents both in our country, in federal or provincial agencies, and in other latitudes. Three sub-axis are proposed for the works to be received:

Firstly, one linked to intramural work, being able to address this topic both from its historical dimension, from the normative evolution, the problems it presents in its current configuration, or its importance as a factor for the construction of the internal order of the prison, among others.

On the other hand, it seeks to approach a more recent and therefore less studied phenomenon, a product of the transformations in the world of work in general terms, such as the emergence of work cooperatives that bring together liberated men and women as organizational experiences —and of subsistence— in the post-confinement area.

Finally, taking into account that the perspective of the political economy of punishment emerged more than eighty years ago with fluctuations in the labor market as the main determinant of the mutations of punishment, as well as that recently this view has been revitalized to Starting from the introduction of other factors from the economic field but also from politics, articles prepared using this theoretical framework will be received.

Works that include empirical research will be especially valued, and must also be original articles. It is also remembered that the admission of works for the Prisiones Magazine is carried out through a double-blind referral system, whose guidelines can be consulted in detail here.

Finally, as stated above, and in order to be able to include in this issue research that accounts for the existing realities in different geographical contexts, articles will be received in Spanish, English and Portuguese, with the Journal guaranteeing translation for publication.
