Analysis of penitentiary, social and legal operators’ perceptions of prison inmates with intellectual disabilities
García Martínez, Jesús (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Álvarez, C.
Resumen: Objective: To analyze the different perceptions of professionals about the problem of intellectual disability in the prison setting.
Material and method: Exploratory-descriptive type. In-depth interviews with legal, social and prison operators of Centro
Penitenciario de Zuera (Zaragoza).
Results: The narratives of the interviewed subjects point to the aggravating circumstances that a closed social environment can
entail for inmates with intellectual disabilities. Communications in the prison administration are written in a technical language
that is not understandable for inmates with intellectual deficits.
Discusion: There is a need to give more visibility to the case of inmates with intellectual disabilities. Procedures also need to be
applied that favour greater cognitive accessibility for this profile of inmates, along with the promotion of awareness raising and
training for professionals to enable them to deal with this issue.
