La atención temprana en contextos penitenciarios en España

Abstract

In Spain, the children of women prisoners may reside with them in prison until they turn three years old. This coexistence ensures a bond between the child and his mother but at the same time places children in a context recognized as an environmental risk factor for their development. Hence, our main objective is to determine whether the early intervention will meet their psychological, social and educational needs. After an exhaustive document analysis and secondary data exploitation, the results indicate that early intervention is essential to address these needs.
