| Sumario: | The prison massacres registered in Ecuador since 2019 have shocked Ecuador and the world due to the frequency of events, the number of deaths and their cruelty. However, after four years, the reasons and responsibilities of this crisis have become a kind of enigma which has placed the explanation into the field of "necropolitics." Likewise, the neoliberal penalty has been placed at the center of the debate to account for these massacres. How are these two rationalities articulated in the case of the prison crisis in Ecuador? This article analyzes how behind this bloody prison crisis a necropolitical practice is evident, which is the extreme corollary of the neoliberal penal rationality built since the 1980s. Through a qualitative case study, it is argued that, in the Ecuadorian case, one can see the symptoms of an extreme form of penal rationality. In other words, neoliberal and necropolitical rationality cannot be seen as exclusive logics, but rather as two sides of the same coin. The dark panorama of prison violence in Ecuador accounts for the application of an extreme form of neoliberal penalization typical of peripheral contexts. |
