« Mes vrais potes, ils sont dehors ». L’adolescence en prison

Abstract

“ My real mates aren’t in prison”. Adolescence in prison. This article examines the range of adolescences experienced by incarcerated young people, through interviews conducted with young women and men in prisons for minors in France. This will involve analysis of what young men and women – who insist they are not “ young people like everyone else” – have to say about this. The purpose will therefore be to understand the themes they use to speak about their day-to-day lives, and how they position themselves in the social world. What effect does the prison environment have on the way they talk about their adolescence ? These young people share generational interests despite their incarceration and they consider themselves to be “ more mature” than young people of their own age, who appear to them to have less experience of life in general.

Algunas reflexiones sobre las diferencias de género en las conductas infractoras de niñas y adolescentes en Chile (Reflections about gender differences in girls' delinquency behaviors in Chile)

“…Un caso paradigmático en términos de vulneración de derechos es la situación que viven las niñas y adolescentes privadas de libertad. Derechos tales como la salud mental, derechos sexuales y reproductivas, y derecho a vivir una vida libre de violencias (especialmente abuso físico y sexual), son especialmente afectados durante la privación de libertad, según los estudios internacionales en la materia (Shufelt y Cocozza 2006, 5, UNICEF 2011 Office of the Juvenile Defender 2012, Reforma Penal Internacional y Asociación para la Prevención de la Tortura 2013, López 2014, 2016, Conselho Nacional de Justica 2015, Amsellem-Mainguy et al 2017, Diniz 2017, López-Gallego et al 2018, Grillo y García 2020.…”
