MANSILLA, Miguel Ángel  and  VERGARA, Juan Carlos. Intra and extra-community prison networks in Chile: apaquism and evangelical volunteerism. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.2, pp.245-258.  Epub Aug 31, 2023. ISSN 1852-060X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v16.n2.40134.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the inter-community role between the apaquist community and the evangelical volunteer in their supportive relationship with the inmate. To this end, two sub-sections are highlighted: the apaquist community and the Community of volunteerism. In the first paragraph, we highlight apaquism as an intermediate community between the prison (a closed society) as an existing social reality and the inmate, through evangelical coaism and the relevance of rituals (of insertion, transits and daily) in order to confront the alienating daily life in prison. In the second paragraph, the community of volunteers, stand out as providers of symbolic, social, material and economic sources to make apaquism internally more sufficient and, in this way, socially reintegrate the inmate serving as a connection. The result is that, without the volunteer community, the apaquist community would`t have the results of growth that it has had since it’s creation in 1999.
