Resumen
España es uno de los países de la Unión Europea con la tasa más alta de personas encarceladas, debido al aumento de la duración de las condenas de delitos comunes, tales como tráfico de drogas, robos o lesiones (GONZÁLEZ SÁNCHEZ, 2011: 10). Parte de esta población reclusa son mujeres, las cuales sufren una discriminación por su condición de mujer y un agravio comparativo respecto a los hombres, debido en parte por la socialización y roles de género históricamente asociados a su condición. Mayor es el agravio comparativo si estas mujeres son madres con hijos a cargo, las cuales presentan unas necesidades especiales debido a su situación y circunstancias personales. Con el presente trabajo se pretende mostrar cómo viven esas mujeres encarceladas con hijos a cargo, el funcionamiento de las llamadas Unidades de Madres y visibilizar la labor del Trabajador Social dentro de las instituciones penitenciarias.
Spain is one of the countries of the European union with more people imprisoned, due to the increase in the length of sentences for common crimes, such as drug trafficking, robbery or injuries (GONZÁLEZ SÁNCHEZ, 2011: 10). Part of this prison population are women, who suffer discrimination because of their status as a woman and a comparative grievance against men, due in part to the socialization and gender roles historically associated with their condition. Greater is the comparative grievance if these women are mothers with children in their charge, who present special needs due to their situation and personal circumstances. The present work intends to show how these women incarcerated with children in their charge live, the performance of the so-called Mothers' Units and make visible the work of the Social Worker inside the penitentiary institutions.
