Entre el miedo y la alegría: emociones silenciadas de las personas privadas de la libertad en Colombia

Abstract

Everyday life in a prison establishment involves particular ways of feeling, thinking, doing and being where emotional activation is intrinsically linked to the personal assessment that the particular situation has for each subject, allowing us to reflect on those emotions that during the stay of a human being in a prison context have a special manifestation, but at the same time, because they are not "common", they are not legitimized, they are unknown, they are invisible and therefore they are not offered the appropriate treatment or expression. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to those emotions that have been "forced" to silence, and make possible in the same line their expression and those factors that transform emotionality once the subject enters jail.
