Governance of Social Rehabilitation - Agustín Méndez Martínez - Bog

The criminal justice systems, specifically that of the Centros Varoniles de Readaptación Social, take for granted that inmates have lost their ability to adapt to change, such as: trades, sports and interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the aim of the present work was to describe the conditions in which the rehabilitation of inmates is carried out in general and the effects of chess-centred therapy in particular. The results show that there is a significant correlation between the practice of chess and their physical activities. In other words, the continuous practice of sport and the practices presupposed by chess are part of a system of multiple intelligences that the inmates develop in the "Jaque al Ocio" workshop, which aims, in some way, to counteract the bad habit of the game of polo (associated with relapses in terms of addictions).
