Abstract This study aims to analyze the design and management characteristics of psychosocial intervention projects which are conducted by executing entities in juvenile sections of prisons in the Southern Chile, stating mechanisms to improve the intervention developed with young lawbreakers starting from the experience of the programs participating teams. 32 professionals of four teams took part in this study. Data production, group interviews and documents review techniques were implemented (intervention record files, projects, planning, among others). The results show models, theories and approaches utilization that are relevant according to gendarmerie directions and national and international evidence. However, projects operation conditions are recognized, which tense and limit the work scope developed with young people. The lack of continuity in the work is highlighted as one of these limitations, since the financing conditioned on tenders that happen yearly and that obstruct the teams’ job stability. The interviewees state a set of proposals for improving interventions with young people; among those interventions are: a specialized training of the intervener psychosocial team, including the gendarmerie staff which are in permanent touch with young people; to improve the direct work with young people by incorporating the Canadian original psychological-educational approach to structure in a coherent way interventions of the juvenile sections on daily basis, incorporating a differentiated intervention focus, considering young people crime trajectories, and finally, it underlines the necessity of deepening the social-communitary inclusion component in the interventions. |
