Abstract
Esta tesis constituye un estudio de la construcción de sentido en la cotidianidad carcelaria en España, atendiendo a la influencia de los distintos espacios penitenciarios en la interacción del personal funcionario de vigilancia y la población interna y al protagonismo del cuerpo en su experiencia en la prisión. El sistema penitenciario español se compone mayoritariamente de prisiones conocidas como centros-tipo, edificios penitenciarios divididos en más de una docena de módulos y arquitectónicamente dispuestos para asegurar una mayor separación entre funcionarios y reclusos. Estas prisiones conviven todavía con otras más antiguas o tradicionales, cuyos espacios difieren de la arquitectura modular y donde trabajadores e internos conviven con mucho mayor contacto y sin barreras de por medio. A esto hay que añadir que cada módulo o departamento habitado por un determinado grupo de presos/as tiene sus propias características, destacando la distinción entre los llamados módulos ordinarios y los módulos de respeto. Los primeros son los de “toda la vida”, donde se ejecuta el régimen penitenciario ordinario para internos/as que viven en “normal convivencia”. Dicho régimen se corresponde también con el de los módulos de respeto, solo que estos ejecutan una modalidad de vida más estricta caracterizada por la obligatoriedad de actividades, buen comportamiento y compromiso con el funcionamiento y organización del departamento, a través de comisiones y reuniones que protagonizan los mismos internos. El acceso a estos módulos es voluntario, y la permanencia en ellos está sujeta a la obediencia a sus distintas normas, que de incumplirse comporta la expulsión del departamento...
This thesis studies the construction of meaning in the daily life of Spanish prisons, taking into account the influence of a variety of carceral spaces in the interactions among prison workers and inmates, as well as the role of their bodies in their prison experience.The Spanish penitentiary system is mostly composed of modern prisons known as “centros-tipo”, which are divided in more than a dozen units or “módulos” that display a complex architecture that allows for a bigger separation between prisoners and officers. However, there are other prisons that are older and more traditional, with fewer units to classify the inmate population and without the physical barriers and technological devices that modern prisons have, displaying a much closer relationship between inmates and prison workers.Furthermore, every unit has its own characteristics, setting our focus in the distinction between ordinary units (módulos ordinarios) and respect units (módulos de respetos). On the one hand, ordinary units apply the regular prison legislation; on the other hand, respect units apply a stricter regime where inmates must behave properly and respectfully, attend to different activities and be committed with the unit. They do so through different meetings and commissions, where they organize the different tasks of the department as well as other daily life issues. Getting into a respect unit is voluntary, and if the prisoners don’t follow the rules they commit with, they are expelled from the unit...
