ESCOBAR-GARCIA, Bibiana  and  HINCAPIE-GARCIA, Alexánder. GIVING THE WORD. Children's language in jail. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.59-70. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1510226022016.

This paper is based on the research study titled The bodies who are part of the exception: Maternity and childhood in jail. Specifically, it corresponds to the theoretical construction of a category related to the development of children's language within a correctional institution. The basic assumption indicates the conditions of language-™s impoverishment in prisons, linking it to the anthropological suspension caused by imprisonment. The original function of the prison system was to normalize and rehabilitate subjects, yet this idea has led to another function that is economic: to protect society from the anthropological waste produced by modernity. However, this protection sacrifices the conditions of possibility for children in jail who share their mothers-™ conviction.

Keywords : Childhood; language; anthropology; pedagogy; jail.
