Cárceles en México: autoridad, poder y violencia

Abstract

In this paper we will talk about the invisible victims living in prisons, but we will ignore the common place topics like, exposing how paradoxical it is that the state, obligated to enforce the law throughout its jurisdiction, cannot do so in its prisons; conclude that self-governance of prisons has led to the corruption of the formal authorities; or insist on the historical disinterest of
politicians in prison issues. Instead the goal is to bring to light the faceless victims and to speak for those who have no voice.
