Reinserción laboral de las personas que estuvieron privadas de libertad y que accedieron a la educación superior en el contexto de un Centro de Rehabilitación Social masculino de la provincia del Guayas, en el año 2021.

Abstract

The general objective of this research was to analyze the problems of labor reinsertion presented by people who have served a sentence and regain their freedom, for this the perception of people who have served a sentence on labor reinsertion was observed once they have regained their freedom, it was possible to determine if access to higher education has an impact on the reintegration into employment of people who have been deprived of liberty; as well as, the labor reinsertion experiences of people who studied a professional career were also compared with those who did not have a university education during the confinement. A methodology based on the qualitative approach was used, which allowed the analysis of the interviews conducted both with ex-convicts who are currently working and with employers. The results showed how complex it is to obtain a formal job, since unfortunately, people who have committed a crime and have served a sentence, even if they have taken courses and studied inside prisons, and obtained a precautionary measure to leave early from prison, they always live with the social stigma for having been in a detention center. In the same way, it was possible to demonstrate that the public policies that exist are insufficient and are not applied in a forceful way, this was demonstrated in the interviews where the workers consulted indicated that in the detention centers there is almost no professional training and this makes that the reality of them when they leave is more complex, because they do not have the necessary tools to be able to exercise a profession or a decent job, because in addition, they have a very high barrier that is social rejection.
