Abstract
This paper intends to address the conditions of "inclusion through labor" in order to recognize the tensions that shape the process of release from prison and psychiatric hospitals, based on a qualitative survey of related State plans, programs and agencies. It is understood that by focusing on the “exit process” of said confinement devices, a channel of inquiry and analysis is projected that requires attending to the social policies implemented for subjects at the exit of the confinement, while recognizing the characteristics of the social and work scenarios outside the institutional spaces of control and monitoring. This interchange allows to outline the paradoxical conditions that the subjects go through in relation to labor in said process.
