In this article I am interested in exposing the tensions that exist in the normative frameworks that regulate the life and right to education of prisoners and their distance from the extreme living conditions of Buenos Aires prisons. I will analyze the value given to the concept of good conduct upheld in Law 24.660 / 96 to advance prison treatment and its tensions through an ethnographic approach of a literacy workshop held in 2017 in Penitentiary Unit 47. The results of the investigation allow us to affirm that the high rates of registered overcrowding make order, discipline, and coexistence impossible within prison establishments, and intensify the difficulties of access and the permanence of the participants in the educational space. |
