Within the neocolonial context of ‘Plan Colombia’ in the early 2000s, agents of the US Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) took up position in the heart of the Colombian penitentiary administration to lead a reform based on the United States’ ultra-punitive penal regime. This paper analyses how the reform was set up on the ground, shedding light on the partially divergent expectations of the two governments. Drawing on recent literature on the mobility of policies and built forms, the paper argues that the introduction of US-inspired prisons in Colombia is a striking case where a mobile policy and a travelling architectural type coincided and complemented each other.

移动中的新惩罚：美国监狱模式和刑事政策如何抵达哥伦比亚

在 2000 年代初期“哥伦比亚计划”的新殖民主义背景下，美国联邦监狱局 (BOP) 的代理人在哥伦比亚监狱管理部门的核心位置领导了一项基于美国超惩罚性刑罚的改革政权。本文分析了改革是如何在实地进行的，阐明了两国政府部分分歧的期望。借鉴最近关于政策和建筑形式的流动性的文献，该论文认为，在哥伦比亚引入受美国启发的监狱是一个引人注目的案例，其中流动政策和旅行建筑类型相辅相成。
