This edited collection addresses the topic of prison governance
which is crucial to our understanding of contemporary prisons in
Latin America. It presents social research from Nicaragua, the
Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Peru,
Uruguay and Argentina to examine the practices of governance by the
prisoners themselves in each unique setting in detail. High levels
of variation in the governance practices are found to exist, not
only between countries but also within the same country, between
prisons and within the same prison, and between different areas.
The chapters make important contributions to the theoretical
concepts and arguments that can be used to interpret the emergence,
dynamics and effects of these practices in the institutions of
confinement of the region. The book also addresses the complex task
of explaining why these types of practices of governance happen in
Latin American prisons as some of them appear to be a legacy of a
remote past but others have arisen more recently. It makes a vital
contribution to the fundamental debate for prison policies in Latin
America about the alternatives that can be promoted.
