This study presents the problem of the overlap between mental health and prison. Throughout time, the hospital, the asylum and the prison have been examined as disciplinary institutions in relation to the expansion of capital. The aim of this work is to analyze the commonalities between the penal system and the field of mental health, focusing on intramural pharmacologization and subjectivation processes. To this end, an analytical design within a qualitative methodological approach was applied. This work was mainly based on conducting in-depth interviews; a critical-reflexive interpretative analysis was carried out and a bibliographic analysis was performed. As a contribution to the study, firstly, we wanted to contribute to the field of mental health in general and pharmacologization in particular, as these are flourishing, open, moving and tension areas. Secondly, the interviewees were listened to in their own active voice, which differs from positioning the voices of the interviewees in ways in which they appear as silenced and passive as objects of research. One of the main findings warns that health conditions in prisons are very sensitive and have alarming characteristics due to the abandonment, helplessness and insecurity that affect the incarcerated. It is concluded that pharmacologization in prisons could be at the service of the intramural government.

Esta producción escrita presenta la problemática del entrecruzamiento entre salud mental y cárcel. Históricamente, el hospital, el manicomio y la cárcel fueron estudiadas como instituciones disciplinarias en relación con la expansión del capital. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar los elementos comunes entre el sistema penal y el campo de la salud mental, focalizando en la farmacologización intramuros y en los procesos de subjetivación. Para ello, se realizó un diseño analítico enmarcado en un abordaje metodológico cualitativo. Este trabajo se basó principalmente en la realización de entrevistas en profundidad; se llevó a cabo un análisis interpretativo crítico-reflexivo y se llevó adelante un análisis bibliográfico. Como contribución al campo de estudio, se procuró realizar, en primer lugar, un aporte al campo de la salud mental en general y la farmacologización en particular, ya que son áreas pujantes, abiertas, en movimiento y en tensión. En segundo lugar, se tomó a lxs sujetxs entrevistadxs con su voz propia y activa, diferenciándose del posicionamiento donde las voces de lxs entrevistadxs aparecen silenciadas y pasivas en tanto objetos de investigación. Uno de los resultados principales advierte acerca de cómo las condiciones en cuestiones de salud en cárceles resultan muy sensibles y presentan rasgos alarmantes por el abandono, el desamparo y la precariedad ejercida sobre lxs prisonizadxs. Se concluye que la farmacologización en cárceles podría estar al servicio del gobierno intramuros.
