Abstract

The objective of this bibliographic revision is to bring together intervention practices developed out of the enactment of the Adolescent
Prison Responsibility Law with disciplinary models of occupational therapy in order to execute an integrated approach in this context/
area. Upon studying/investigating the life histories of encarcerated youth, we discovered trajectories of infringement of rights - affected
by social, economic, cultural, and occupational segregation.
The former generates occupational identities characterized by experiences with negative connotations. Thus, people working to
approach these subjects should understand these sociocutural processes to give them the tools necessary to contribute to autonomy
and the development of positive social conduct. One occupational therapy strategy is to have the young person visualize his/her
identification with a meaningful occupation not associated with criminal activity - one that favors autonomy, a sense of belonging, and
empowerment for his/her social inclusion.
