    This research analyzes the representations and narratives constructed by Ecuadorian digital media regarding persons deprived of liberty (PDL) within the context of the prison crisis that occurred in Ecuador during September 2021. The study aims to understand how media discourse contributes to the formation of social perceptions and imaginaries about this population, particularly in situations marked by violence and prison conflicts. The main objective was to analyze the media representations and narratives about persons deprived of liberty in Ecuadorian digital news outlets. To achieve this, publications from Diario Extra, El Comercio, and Primicias published during September 2021 were examined. The research adopted a qualitative approach supported by Content Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis, which allowed the identification of predominant news frames, discursive resources, and representational patterns present in the selected publications. The findings reveal that media coverage focused mainly on violent events, prison riots, deaths, security operations, and government responses. In addition, the study identified a recurring use of narratives associated with criminality, danger, and conflict, while topics related to human rights, social reintegration, and structural issues of the prison system received limited attention. Likewise, the images used in the news coverage frequently reinforced perceptions linked to insecurity, disorder, and institutional control. The study concludes that the analyzed media narratives contribute to the construction of predominantly stigmatizing representations of persons deprived of liberty, strengthening social imaginaries centered on violence and crime. Therefore, it is necessary to promote more balanced, contextualized, and socially responsible journalistic coverage that provides a broader understanding of the prison reality and the social issues surrounding this population.
