This paper is part of the finished investigation The Bodies of Exception. Its purpose is to confront the perspective of genealogical reading with the perspective of human rights, around the problem of prison in Colombia. The central argument holds that the perspective of Human Rights is repe-titive and circular, extending to infinity without solving anything, but ensu-ring its inevitability to take on the problem of prison. The method used is genealogical, as befits the perspective adopted, and is understood as the process by which it is questioned by the value of the inherited values. In conclusion, it is proposed that human rights fail to stop the decline of the internal life of the prison or the society that demands it to function.

Keywords : Human Rights; Genealogy; Prison; Law; Values.
