I think
that I will work in juridical psychology, specifically in prison. I know it is
a difficult job, the prison is a space full of irregularities, it is a space
full of people who have really hard realities. Theoretically, a prison is for
the reinsertion of the prisoners into the society, or at least that is what
Gendarmería de Chile says. Nothing of
that happens in the prison, in reality these are places just to take away the prisoner’s
rights, places for dehumanization.
I hope I work
with the programs of reinsertion, and be a contribution for changes of the
programs, use the studies and investigation that affirm the necessity of other ways
to punish people different from the jail.
For this
job it is necessary to study a lot, above all, to convince the institution that
the way in which they are doing things is wrong. Social and spatial deprivation
is not the better way to punish someone, maybe I’d like travel to Spain or
other countries to study more about prison, juridical psychology and other ways
“to do justice”.
I think for
this job I will have to be indoors all the time. I mean, I will go to work in
prison, but maybe someday I could work with people who are completing their
sentences in liberty and I could work with them in their homes or their jobs,
maybe… who knows.
