Education in confinement contexts from a multidisciplinary perspective: the importance of educating in values as a boost for social reintegration.

Abstract

Among the initiatives aimed at reeducation and reintegration in confinement contexts, we hardly find proposals for education in values, beyond any isolated attempt by prison volunteering; nevertheless, educating in values helps to humanize and give another face to the jail; Therefore, we present an educational proposal based on the acquisition of values, contextualized in the Albolote Penitentiary Center (Granada, Spain), and coordinated by a multidisciplinary team made up of teachers and a representation of the rest of professionals and prison volunteers. Two types of values were worked from an active and participatory methodology: some aimed at favoring the personal rehabilitation of inmates, and others with an orientation towards social reintegration.
