The study seeks to describe the socio-labor conditions of Adults in Conflict with the Law (PACL) who obtained the semi-open regime in the period 2021-2022, and the role of Social Workers in this process. A methodology with a quantitative and qualitative approach is used through surveys and semi-structured interviews, the design is non-experimental – cross-sectional and phenomenological. With regard to socio-labor conditions, the micro level reveals that PACLs belong mostly to nuclear and extended families. At the meso level, friendships and romantic partners are essential for reintegration; The labour sector in which they are concentrated is the private sector and the branches of activity in which they work are differentiated by sex. The qualitative reveals that access to employment is influenced by the support of mesosystems; However, job opportunities are scarce due to social bias and criminal records. There is limited participation of CPL Social Work professionals in the reintegration process due to lack of resources. The study shows the usefulness of ecological theory to identify the different levels at which micro and meso factors interact with respect to socio-labor conditions and accessibility to jobs.

Conflicts of interest
A conflict of interest exists when an author (or author's institution), reviewer, or editor has personal or financial relationships that inappropriately influence their actions (those relationships are also known as two commitments, where interests or loyalties compete). Not all relationships represent a certain conflict of interest. On the other hand, the potential for conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether an individual believes that the relationship affects scientific judgment of her. The Revista de Trabajo Social asks the authors for an explicit declaration of the existence of possible conflicts of interest. Authors must include it in the Acknowledgments chapter, located prior to the References. In the event of conflicts of interest with a peer reviewer, the author who submits a new article will have the opportunity to inform on the virtual platform the name of the person who does not wish to participate in the arbitration. This information will be kept strictly confidential.
