Abstract
Description
El artículo contribuye a expandir el conocimiento sobre la violencia en contexto de encierro en América Latina, a partir del análisis de la Encuesta a Personas Privadas de Libertad realizada en seis países de la región. Identifica los factores de riesgo que incrementan la vulnerabilidad de los varones privados de libertad a ser victimizados dentro de la prisión. Los resultados muestran que las personas detenidas más proclives a ser víctimas de violencia dentro de la prisión son quienes tienen menor edad, fueron víctimas de violencia durante su infancia, reciben visitas poco frecuentes, son reincidentes, consumen alcohol y/o drogas dentro del penal, conciben cierto nivel de corrupción entre los agentes de seguridad y/o, además, están en penales con problemas de hacinamiento.
This paper contributes to the literature on violence in Latin American prisons by identifying a set of risk factors likely to increase prison victimization for male inmates. Drawing on data from six Latin American countries gathered by the “Survey of Prison Inmates”, our findings suggest that inmates are more likely to experience victimization if they: are young, were victimized as children, receive fewer visits while incarcerated, are recidivists, use alcohol and/or other substances while incarcerated, perceive prison staff to be corrupt, and are imprisoned in overcrowded facilities.
