Bibliotecas carcelarias: una experiencia cordobesa

This paper describes the experience of a group of teachers and students of the School of Librarianship at the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities (National University of Cordoba, Argentina) who organized the workshop "Building a catalog of information resources for the Library of Penitenciary Unit No. 2." The workshop was offered for prison inmates within the Program University in Prison (PUC) of the National University. The encounter of students and teachers of library science with the reality in prisons and the role assigned to the prison library by different institutions, started an extensive debate on different topics related to the discourse on the prison library, the real opportunities that interns might have in order to appropriate of the space that the library offers them, the relationship between the library, and the control systems, and the symbolic violence of the prison and the emerging statements of the library social work.
