Los incorregibles del sistema penitenciario liberal en España y Portugal (1870-1930)
In the late 19th and early 20th century, the word “incorrigible” was used in a purely criminological and penological sense to speak of “natural born criminals” and “repeat offenders”. However, it also had another, far more pragmatic meaning that was restricted to the penitentiary sphere and the issu...

| description | In the late 19th and early 20th century, the word “incorrigible” was used in a purely criminological and penological sense to speak of “natural born criminals” and “repeat offenders”. However, it also had another, far more pragmatic meaning that was restricted to the penitentiary sphere and the issue of the so-called “incorrigible” or “maladapted” prisoners. This problematic, encouraged by criminological positivism and globalised thanks to the constant holding of international meetings and congresses, also became a significant issue in Spain and Portugal, countries where correctionalism was the most prestigious current of criminological thought. In our investigation, besides covering the most significant features of a debate fuelled by the proposals of inocuización– penalties involving the incapacitation, neutralisation or elimination of offenders – put forward by positivism in opposition to correctionalism, we inquire into the real scope of the regulatory and organisational measures that were proposed with the express aim of neutralising, or separating from society for an indefinite time, convicts who were considered to be incorrigible. |

Inocuización Portugal (19th and 20th centuries) Portugal (siglos XIX y XX) Presos incorregibles In the late 19th and early 20th century, the word “incorrigible” was used in a purely criminological and penological sense to speak of “natural born criminals” and “repeat offenders”. However, it also had another, far more pragmatic meaning that was restricted to the penitentiary sphere and the issue of the so-called “incorrigible” or “maladapted” prisoners. This problematic, encouraged by criminological positivism and globalised thanks to the constant holding of international meetings and congresses, also became a significant issue in Spain and Portugal, countries where correctionalism was the most prestigious current of criminological thought. In our investigation, besides covering the most significant features of a debate fuelled by the proposals of inocuización– penalties involving the incapacitation, neutralisation or elimination of offenders – put forward by positivism in opposition to correctionalism, we inquire into the real scope of the regulatory and organisational measures that were proposed with the express aim of neutralising, or separating from society for an indefinite time, convicts who were considered to be incorrigible. A finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, la palabra “incorregible” se utilizó en un sentido puramente criminológico y penológico, para hablar de “criminales natos” y delincuentes “reincidentes”, y en otro mucho más pragmático que quedaba reducido al ámbito penitenciario y a la cuestión de los denominados “presos incorregibles” o “inadaptados”. Esta problemática, animada por el positivismo criminológico y globalizada gracias a la constante celebración de encuentros y congresos internacionales, también llegó con fuerza a España y Portugal, países en los que la corriente de pensamiento criminológico que tenía más prestigio era el correccionalismo. Con nuestra investigación, además de aprehender los rasgos más significativos de un debate que estuvo espoleado por las propuestas de inocuización –penas de incapacitación, neutralización o eliminación de delincuentes– que realizaba el positivismo frente al correccionalismo, nos preguntamos por el alcance real de las medidas reglamentarias y organizativas que se propusieron con la intención expresa de neutralizar o separar de la sociedad por tiempo indefinido a los penados que eran considerados incorregibles.
