With regard to the social network and psychological alteration variables (depression) and to prove the relative value of the dynamic properties of the social network to describe and to predict emotional alteration. 61 adolescents participated, 31 were from the prison Readaptation and 30 were students. The confined adolescents showed more depression than student, and obtained higher scores in the Index of Family Relationships and in the Quality social network.
