Description
Summary:This paper is based on a fieldwork realized inside and in the neighbourhood of the prison that shelters the highest number of female inmates in Peru. Its purpose is to analyse the mechanisms that govern a set of economic operations, which are not restricted to the prison space, but have an influence on a geographic area that is linked to the prison building. In-depth interviews make it posible to identify a variety of actors that are present in the expanded prison space and understand their roles and functions inside the economic network that have been formed over time that link the areas inside and outside the prison. Understanding the complexity of this universe is made possible through the use of two concepts, deviance and transgression culture, and application of these concepts reveal a previously unexplored reality.
