Conceptualizations Based On The Student´s Account Of Their Educational Experiencies On The CENS 463, Located On The Penitentiary Unit 4 In Bahía Blanca: In Between The Hallmark Of Jail And The Hallmark Of School. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.2, pp.243-258. ISSN 1515-9485.  http://dx.doi.org/10.37177/unicen/eb31-299.

The objective of this paper is to introduce the partial results of an ongoing research project that started in 2018. It is based on the analysis of the students’ account of their experience in the CENS 463, located in Villa Floresta Penitentiary in the city of Bahía Blanca. It aims to demonstrate the possible changes the students underwent as a result of the entry in this Educational Institution (CENS 463).

Following the guidelines of a qualitative design backed by the Grounded Theory, the research team developed a series of categories on the subject of the students’ personal perception of the learning experience in the context of deprivation of liberty, and the identification of the effects the Institution had on them, concerning both, their own selves (the way they think, feel and behave) and their life plans.
