The purpose of this study is to understand the educational experience of the Liceo
Camino de Luz from Puente Alto, an institution that works in a prision context. In this
perspective we inquire about 1) the contextual formation in which the high school is
placed,and the rules that articulate it; 2) the dynamism of this institution and its
functionality; 3) the instituting praxis of teachers in the management of the
educational community; 4) its impact on the processes of change of people in prision.
It is hypothetically concluded that the Camino de Luz high school is inserted in a
complex contextual formation composed of various contexts with very different and
even opposite rules. The dominant context is the Gendarmerie one. Another relevant
context is the prison community, a living space for prisioner individuals. The socio-
educational context built by the teachers (s) offers the prisioner people a system of
possibilities to develop as individuals and to work out their own reintegration
processes, desistance and socio-community inclusion. Related with this, educational
community places teachers as knowledge managers, link managers, community
managers, care managers and change managers.
