Resumen

¿Qué influencia ejerce la etiqueta de “enemigo público” en las estrategias de gestión de prisiones? Utilizando hallazgos provenientes de investigaciones sobre el terreno realizadas en varios países (sobre todo, en prisiones para bandas del Triángulo Norte –El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras– y en las unidades de “máxima seguridad” para miembros de la mafia en Italia), el artículo se centra en la relación forzada entre dos complejas organizaciones: el Estado y su aparato punitivo, por un lado, y los grupos organizados, el actor no estatal, por el otro. Los grupos organizados traen intramuros de la prisión su habitus, organización, liderazgo, jerarquía, símbolos, típicos de ese continuum. Las unidades especiales para presos peligrosos se están convirtiendo en una estrategia transnacional para experimentar con diferentes formas de relación entre el Estado y las organizaciones criminales: reconocimiento, degradación, deserción y el infravalorado desistimiento.
