MARIN ALARCON, Nelson. Prision evangelism in Chile: socio-anthropological analysis of religious communities in confinement context. Polis [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.43, pp.557-580. ISSN 0718-6568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682016000100026.

This article proposes an analysis of the formation and expansion of evangelical religious communities in Chilean prisons. Through a case study in the Santiago Sur CDP in 2013, it is shown how the existence of these groups is associated with the peculiarities of prison and the relationship they establish with other actors within the enclosure. Finally, its growth and legitimacy is analyzed from the theoretical approaches of greater recognition in this field.
