description Through research based on primary sources, this article examines the discursive representations of the elites in the city of Osorno. It argues that the press built an emotional discourse that longed for modernity and operated as an argumentative excuse for the reproduction of prison practices. Primarily, the use of prison labor in public works, which was prohibited since the adoption of the Penal Code of 1874. The results indicate that the recurrence of an indiscipline narrative associated with the popular sectors justified the preservation of practices that served as mechanisms of public correction and contributed to the construction of public spaces.

It argues that the press built an emotional discourse that longed for modernity and operated as an argumentative excuse for the reproduction of prison practices. Primarily, the use of prison labor in public works, which was prohibited since the adoption of the Penal Code of 1874. The results indicate that the recurrence of an indiscipline narrative associated with the popular sectors justified the preservation of practices that served as mechanisms of public correction and contributed to the construction of public spaces. A través de una investigación basada en fuentes primarias, se examina cómo las representaciones discursivas de los sectores dirigentes de Osorno, a través de sus medios de prensa, fueron construyendo un discurso emocional de anhelo de modernidad que operó como excusa argumental para la reproducción de prácticas carcelarias como la utilización de mano de obra presidiaria en labores de obras públicas, acción prohibida desde la aprobación del Código Penal de 1874. Los resultados indican que la presencia de una narrativa de indisciplina asociada a los sectores populares, justificó la preservación de una práctica que serviría como mecanismo de corrección pública y que aportaría a la construcción del espacio público local.
