The present research attempts to contrast the prison and the mountains as a space where the convicted criminals live, survive and suffer with equal misery. Detained in the prison, the convict awaits his punishment, but the fragility of those places turned precarious his stay in it. The mountain represented a better refuge for those who were outside the law. The perception of the authorities considers that those who lived in the mountains and lived hidden, away from civilization, ware necessarily transgressors of the law. The relationship between both territories, between the one which has normalized its legality and the one which has opposed its own rule, bare the fragility of the social structure. Untamed spaces, are the territories of the “Other”, the enemy, the object of fear and mistrust. The world of law, the universe of rules and standards that are intended to be known and obey, is expressed as two sides of the same medal with the disorder of the world of excesses; a different world where there is no room for social control. But, both the mountains and the prison, are governed by its own harsh and intemperate laws that establish channels of communication because through all that time, one constant was imposed and is that one of these two spaces cannot survive without the other. Those who defy the rules always returned to the city where the prison stands, because they cannot support the times of intense loneliness, helplessness, of the marginal spaces. The prison guards know and all they can do is wait patiently, for a return that is always announced. |

La presente investigación intenta contrastar los espacios de la cárcel y la espesura de los montes como un horizonte donde se vive, se sobrevive y se padece con igual desdicha. Recluido en el territorio de la cárcel colonial el reo aguarda su castigo, pero la fragilidad de las prisiones tornaba precaria su estancia en ella, el monte representaba en tanto el área, donde quien trasgredía los límites del orden social podía hallar refugio. La percepción de las autoridades apuntaba a considerar que quien vivía en el monte, huido, escondido, apartado de la civilidad, necesariamente era un delincuente hurtado del control de la ciudad. Los espacios vigilados, intensamente ordenados, regulados y controlados por quienes mandan pero que al mismo tiempo no podía evitar las injusticias y la comisión de delitos se contraponía al espacio del desorden. El juego de relación entre ambos territorios, entre el que ha normativizado su legalidad y el que carece de ella o le ha opuesto sus propias reglas contrarias a las primeras, desnuda la fragilidad de la estructura social permanentemente amenazada por el desorden. El desgobierno que ocupa los extramuros de la civilidad y se guarnece en estas áreas de vegetación tupida justifica el control de aquella. Los espacios indómitos, son el territorio del otro, del enemigo, el objeto del temor y la desconfianza, ocupan geográficamente la periferia del espacio central, se construyen a partir de los deslindes de la ciudad y su radio de influencia. El mundo del derecho, el universo de las reglas y las normas que pretenden ser conocidas y claras, cuyo cumplimiento reclaman las justicias y acatan los “estantes y habitantes” se contraponían como las dos caras de una misma medalla con el desorden de una estrategia del mundo de los excesos y la desmesura, un mundo diferente donde no hay margen para el control social. Pero el monte como la cárcel misma se regula por sus propias leyes durísimas y destempladas que establecen canales de comunicación y de auto alimentación porque a través de todos los tiempos y de todas las prohibiciones existe y se impone una constante que se mantiene: no puede sobrevivir un espacio sin el otro. Quienes desafían los rigores del control regresan siempre a la ciudad donde se erige la cárcel, no pueden soportar por largos tiempos la intensa soledad, el desamparo, el desabrigo y la desoladora orfandad de los espacios marginales. Los custodios lo saben y solo les queda aguardar pacientemente, un retorno que conocen, desde siempre, anunciado. La solución apuntaba a nutrir una y otra vez un sistema consolidado por siglos con los aportes de sus mismos agujeros y falencias. El mecanismo de la penalización de este modo se auto alimentaba.
