For the development of this study, I take into account the journalistic novel by Gabriel García Márquez, entitled News of a Kidnapping (1996), the same one that serves as a reference to address a critical period that Colombia was going through during the last two decades of the century XX. This period was characterized by the presence of government corruption, drug trafficking and armed struggle. Faced with this social and political situation, the legal solution includes the incorporation of a criminological policy, which can be transferred in two specific areas: law enforcement agencies and members of narco-terrorist groups. In this process of diminishing the deficiencies caused by the State and its opponents, the texts The Archeology of Knowledge, Microfisics of Power and Vigilance and Punish by Michel Foucault are useful for postulating a new way of dealing with the way to punish an inmate, based on discipline and projected towards its effective reintegration into society.
