Las actitudes de los jóvenes internados en la prisión de Córdoba ante los procesos de reeducación/The attitudes of the young persons in the prison of Cordoba. Towars the reeducational function

Educational and social integrations are universal rights, and even those people who are in prison should have them. So penal institutions must strive to rehabilitative and re-educate inmates. These people's attitudes to re-education might be important in the involvement towards such process. Thus, the objective of this piece of research is to know the attitudes of inmates, under 25, at the prison of Cordoba (Spain) towards re-education, and to try to find out which variables are associated with attitudes. This study has been done with a descriptive research design ex post facto cross and with a sample of 50 inmates under the age of twenty-five in the prison of Córdoba (Spain). From the results, it seems that more than half of the inmates have a positive attitude towards the rehabilitative function of the penal institution. In conclusion, a high attitude toward re-education can benefit not only the rehabilitation of the inmate, but also their social reintegration.
