Descripción
Sumario:The objective of the present article is to characterize the sociocultural profile of foreign indigenous women deprived of liberty in the regions of Arica-Parinacota, Tarapacá and Antofagasta, in northern Chile.  For this, a qualitative investigation was carried out by conducting semi-structured interviews.  As for the results, most of the women come from the regions of Puno, Peru, and Cochabamba, Bolivia; they correspond to the Aymara and Quechua populations, respectively; they carry out commercial activities related to cooking, cleaning, sewing, buy-and-sale of products; incarcerated for the crime of drug trafficking. Some of the conclusions raised by the research are the need to recognize self-identification and territorial origin as criteria to ensure indigenous quality in Chilean prisons.
