description   This article aims to analyze the extent to which the prison becomes a place of new delinquent learning, where the struggle for survival is a daily challenge and the lack of money leaves the prisoner in a vulnerable state in front of groups or criminal organizations who operate inside the prison. The re-socialization through an occupation, learning a trade and professional study are modalities that must exist in every prison to avoid recidivism, for the punishment to become an opportunity to learn a new trade and to persuade against crime. On the contrary, there is a high rate of recidivism and overcrowding, which prevents the offender from separating from the crime. This article presents an analysis inside two prisons in Colombia.

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar hasta qué punto la cárcel se convierte en un lugar de nuevos aprendizajes delincuenciales, donde la lucha por la supervivencia es un desafío diario y la falta de dinero deja al reo en estado de vulnerabilidad frente a los grupos u organizaciones delictivas que operan dentro del penal. La resocialización a través de una ocupación, el aprendizaje de un oficio y el estudio profesional son modalidades que deben existir en toda cárcel para evitar la reincidencia, para que el castigo resulte una oportunidad para aprender un nuevo oficio y para persuadir contra el delito. Contrario a esto, existe un alto índice de reincidencia y hacinamiento, que impide que el delincuente se aparte del delito. En este artículo se hace un análisis dentro de dos cárceles en Colombia.   Abstract This article aims to analyze the extent to which the prison becomes a place of new delinquent learning, where the struggle for survival is a daily challenge and the lack of money leaves the prisoner in a vulnerable state in front of groups or criminal organizations who operate inside the prison. The re-socialization through an occupation, learning a trade and professional study are modalities that must exist in every prison to avoid recidivism, for the punishment to become an opportunity to learn a new trade and to persuade against crime. On the contrary, there is a high rate of recidivism and overcrowding, which prevents the offender from separating from the crime. This article presents an analysis inside two prisons in Colombia. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar em que medida a prisão se torna um local de aprendizagem de novos delinqüentes, onde a luta pela sobrevivência é um desafio diário e a falta de dinheiro deixa o preso em um estado vulnerável diante de grupos ou organizações criminosos operando dentro da prisão. Re-socialização através da ocupação, aprendendo um ofício ou estudo profissional são modalidades que devem existir em cada prisão para evitar a reincidência, para que a punição se torna uma oportunidade para aprender uma nova profissão e para persuadir contra o crime. Ao contrário disso, há uma alta taxa de reincidência e superlotação que impede que o agressor se afaste do crime. Neste artigo, uma análise é feita dentro de duas prisões na Colômbia.
