Los estudios sobre la maternidad en prisión develan una especial tipicidad meritoria de nuevas epistemologías sociales que rebasen el abordaje jurídico y el ámbito penitenciario. El artículo tiene el objetivo de valorar el ejercicio de la maternidad de las mujeres privadas de libertad desde una perspectiva sociológica y jurídica que permita su redimensionamiento hacia un adecuado enfoque de género y una efectiva protección del interés superior del menor, a partir de las experiencias prácticas, políticas públicas e institucionales del sistema penitenciario cubano. A tales fines se define la maternidad desde las dimensiones biológica y sociocultural, entendida como hecho jurídico. Se analiza la protección internacional específica desde las Reglas Mandela y las Reglas de Bangkok. Se caracteriza el contexto cubano y el correlativo español, en tanto ambos comparten la triple estigmatización femenina y ameritan reflexionar sobre la función social de las cárceles en el tratamiento de la maternidad y la infancia encarceladas.
Studies on maternity in prison reveal a special meritorious form of new social epistemologies that go beyond the legal approach and the prison environment. The article aims to assess the exercise of motherhood by women deprived of liberty from a sociological and legal perspective that allows its resizing towards an adequate gender approach and an effective protection of the best interests of the children, based on the practical experiences, institutional and public policies of the Cuban prison system. For these purposes, motherhood is defined from the biological and sociocultural dimensions, understood as a legal fact. Specific international protection is analyzed from the Mandela Rules and the Bangkok Rules. The Cuban context and the Spanish correlative are characterized, as both share the triple stigmatization of women and merit reflection on the social role of prisons in the treatment of incarcerated motherhood and childhood.
