Methodologically this work develops as an analytical theoretical effort, which among a multitude of possible approaches, is carried out a Foucaultian-Agambennian, theoretical, critical and reflexive analysis; that do not explain the totality of the problem but that add elements to think the construction of barbaric subjectivities that are under and behind this bloody reality and insensitive to suffering. The objective is to provide elements and keys of analysis in view of the expanding reality of segregationism that prison represents the apex, and how an organization and social relations based on a destructive and annihilating subjectivity of the other that is the death of the self has been constituted as a subject (social being).
