El presente escrito es fruto de un exhaustivo trabajo de campo en un Centro Socioeducativo de Régimen Cerrado que aloja a jóvenes en conflicto con la ley penal. Enmarcado en el proyecto UBACyT de la cátedra II de Psicología Institucional dirigido por la Mgter. Nora Vitale, este escrito es parte de una tesis de doctorado que buscó reconocer al estereotipo de pibe chorro como un tipo subjetivo en particular. En función de esto, se ha indagado en el modo en que estos jóvenes construyen su subjetividad durante sus trayectorias de vida previas al encierro. El objetivo es determinar si se identifican al estereotipo de pibe chorro y los efectos que esto produce en su subjetividad. Se concluye que los jóvenes en conflicto con la ley penal efectivamente tienen una identificación al estereotipo de pibe chorro que produce efectos negativos para su subjetividad e incide en el ingreso y reingreso de estos al sistema penal juvenil. Se propone, por un lado, restituir la psicoterapia en los dispositivos penales juveniles. Por el otro, fortalecer el acompañamiento de aquellos que regresan a la vida en libertad para asistirlos y apuntalarlos en procesos de construcción de subjetividad ligados a otros modelos identificatorios posibles.
