Item type:Publication, Living behind symbolic and concrete barriers of total institutions: Reflections on the transition between domestic symbolic patriarchal imprisonment and co-governed, state-sponsored incarceration in Perú(Queensland University of Technology, 2020-07-27)This article seeks to analyse the paradox of freedom and imprisonment, reflecting on the connections between and nuances of intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) and women's imprisonment in the Global South, particularly in Perú. The story follows Maria, a woman serving a 14-year sentence for the homicide of her husband, an act she committed after experiencing 20 years of psychological and physical abuse. I have chosen to focus on her ambivalence towards her experience of IPVA, using Goffman's (1961) concept of the 'total institution'; I suggest that Maria was living under a patriarchal and symbolic total institution, a prison-like home (Avni 1991). Following this, while imprisoned for the homicide of her husband, Maria was physically incapacitated in a co-governed, patriarchal, nation-state prison. Nevertheless, simultaneously, in this custodial setting, she found a semi-autonomous path to reinforce her sense of agency and to construct interpersonal relationships that have enabled her to question the preceding patriarchal norms. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Prison in Peru(Springer, 2021-11-17)This book expands the field of prison research by drawing on six months of unique, ethnographic research in Santa Monica prison, the largest women’s prison in Lima, Peru. Using feminist and decolonial perspectives, it explores power and the governance system and its implications on how the prison operates and the lived experiences of women prisoners and their interpersonal relationships. It reflects on the intersection of prison, imprisonment and gender from a Global South perspective and includes methodological reflections on how to research prisons in the Global South holistically. It fills a gap and engages with debates on governmentality and women’s agency within the penal context. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A decolonial and depatriarchal approach to women’s imprisonment: Co-governance, legal pluralism and gender at Santa Mónica Prison, Perú(Palgrave Macmillan, 2022-01-01)Research about prisons in the Global South has started to analyse the power dynamics between prison staff and prisoners, but it has focused mainly on men's prisons. Following decolonial and feminist, the chapter is based on the empirical data produced during an ethnography in Santa Monica, a women's prison in Lima, Peru. I argue that Santa Monica functions through a co-governance with prisoner-delegates who have the role of intermediaries or interface brokers. Moreover, I propose that prison is a site of interlegality where national law and customary law superimpose and interpenetrate in the subjects' actions and minds. Consequently, social relationships between authorities, prison staff and prisoners are defined by a hybrid legal system. I conclude with the importance of recognising different types of political and social organisations, not only as the result of errors or of failed development processes in the Global South, but also as an alternative configuration that may lead us to question how we conceptualise prison and imprisonment. In the same line, I acknowledge women prisoners are not only moulded by patriarchal structures, but also recognise the ambivalences and the possibilites of organising and engaging in semi-autonomous actions while imprisoned.
