This paper sets out to examine how individuals in contexts of prison confinement can not only experience freedom gradually, but also produce creative freedom through a dialectical process in relation to their past, present and future; and how the latter - to which we will give a greater preponderance - has as an inherent element the potential to ontologically transform their existence. To this end, we base ourselves on three fundamental theses: the idea of ‘freedom’ in Jean-Paul Sartre, the ‘historical man’ in Friedrich Nietzsche and Vicente Fatone's concept of ‘being of distances’. The interweaving of these perspectives allows us to understand how a person in an environment of confinement can develop an ontological freedom that transcends the ontic and deterministic limitations of their situation, modifying its being and projecting it towards a different future.
