Caros colegas:

talvez devesse enviar esta pergunta para falantes de espanhol, mas levo fé em que alguém aqui será capaz de me ajudar.

Estou traduzindo o roteiro de um documentário americano sobre um internato situado na República Dominicana para onde são enviados "jovens problemáticos" oriundos dos EUA. Num determinado momento, fala-se sobre as punições que recebem:

"We still use the paddle, we used the paddle 30 years ago. We still give pushups, we gave pushups 30 years ago. You know. They still run casitas here, from the bottom - from the gate to the top."

"When they have a one or a zero on their point sheet form the day before, they get - for every one they have, they get one casita, and if they get a zero, they get two casitas, but they can't run more than three in a day."

"There´s one right here... and then there´s one in the back too... they'll heal in a couple of days, though. This one was a - a pretty big one about a week and a half ago but it's healed now. Just gotta take care of them."

"So how did you feel about the run?"

"Tired. Upset."

Alguém sabe do que se trata esse procedimento?

Grata!
