Abstract

The article focuses on the issue of freedom of conscience of prisoners in Mexican prisons, a right of people which is violated by the programs of rehabilitation, social reintegration and related legislation, including some international legal instruments on human rights. Presents arguments designed to prove that both: the legal requirement of forced labor and the practice of diagnoses of personality, are transgressions of the right of prisoners to decide fundamental questions about life, subjective interest to be protected even during imprisonment.
