Abstract

The needs of the penitentiary systems are projected into the public social policies of the governments as one of the most complex purposes to work. The penitentiary model of social-educational action that has been developed in Spain, mainly since the last decade, has tried to mitigate the deficiencies and lacks of people in prison. From progressive developments with relevant contributions from Social Education among other disciplines of social action- multiple actions which shape effective experiences on these fields, as respect modules or social-labour programs have been developed. Theses advances present very interesting experiences and results, equally for women in prison, a penitentiary minority (although in the Spanish case it represents the highest percentage in the European Union), that historically have suffered greater inequalities and discriminations than men in prison.
