Abstract

The re-socialization and reintegration in the prison context as a vulnerable group, as well as the spaces for these programs are of utmost importance for life and its integration into society; Said program, named "open jail" is carried out by a board called "Firm Steps", which consists of the former inmates being admitted on Thursday and leaving on monday morning, to the CERESO Social Rehabilitation Center Lic. David Franco Rodríguez of the city of Morelia, Michoacán. Once they leave the penitentiary institution, through this program different activities are offered and in this research, the strategy is workshops on "Development of Human Potencial" where they acquire socio-emotional skills that allow them to empower them to put them at their service to the couple and society in general, to face his life outside of prison. They often live stigmatized by society, with mixes emotions of not finding work, of knowing if their partner will continue to love them or of getting into trouble again. The reintegration of men into society is a topic that is rarely investigated, and even less, the relationship that is very important and significant for mental health in a considerable number of men, since it seems that the having a partner within, during and after the process of living in prison, has a certain motivation in them. Writing about a couple, sexuality is implicit, an inherent aspect of the human being, which is affected by being confined. One of the main reasons for the therapeutic and consultation process for a therapist of any theoretical orientation arises from the practice of love life. Which refers us to the importance of life as a couple that sometimes appear as crises that lead to breakups, jealousy, infidelity, distrust, money, heartbreak, self-esteem problems, due to lack of comunicación. From the foregoing, the following general objective emerged: "To analyze the importance of emotions, the partner and their sexuality in former men inmates".
