Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze, from the teacher's perspective, the experiences in the exercise of higher education in prison. The educational experience carried out in the Provisional Deprivation of Liberty Center in Guayaquil, Ecuador, is taken as a case study. It is based on a bibliographical review of the legal framework that protects inmates, as well as the results of previous similar studies. The research used the synthetic analytical method supported by observation processes and questionnaires that gathered the teachers' points of view, analyzed through the systematization of experiences. Among the results, it is highlighted that teachers face the lack of resources and a feeling of insecurity inside the prison, but they do not consider them as obstacles to teaching and value the experience as enriching. It is concluded that the exercise of higher education in prison is feasible, but it must be consolidated through the design of didactic proposals in accordance with the context and adapted to the needs and profiles of the inmates.
