Proyecto: "Women Deprived of Liberty: Social Reintegration, Limitations, and Restrictions on Access to the Future"
Supervisor: Dr. María Isabel Belausteguigoitia Ruis
This research project aims to critically analyze the relationship between the Mexican prison system, the social reintegration model, and the construction of future horizons for Women Deprived of Liberty (WDL). From a gender perspective, the study examines how the social reintegration model designed for women not only reproduces specific forms of administering punishment* and the gendered dimensions of penal practices, but also shapes the conditions under which the capacities for aspiration, anticipation, and imagination become possible or constrained. By exploring these dynamics, the project seeks to understand how punitive institutions extend their effects beyond incarceration, influencing women's ability to envision and pursue alternative futures after imprisonment.
