| Summary: | Beyond the violation of human rights, overcrowding and forgetfulness that have prevailed in Mexican prisons, these have become during the last 14 years a niche of criminal activities that contribute to maximize the profit of criminal cells; They help to justify US interventionism in Mexico through their security agenda, and they have been exposed to a commodification process that undermines the principles of social reintegration of inmates. This text addresses these phenomena by exposing the type of criminalization of vulnerable sectors and punitive populism that were formulated in Mexico in the last two federal administrations; the functionality of Mexican prisons towards the economy of Transnational Crime Networks, and to measure the profit that at their expense is made viable both from the legal economic sphere and from the political sphere. |
