The proposal of this article is to describe the dynamics that the Pentecostal Evangelical Religious Device (PERD) assumes in the construction of the prison order of Argentine prisons, based on the analysis of the narratives of religious leaders —named as servants— of the so-called «church pavilions». The narratives will be approached from two of its constitutive dimensions. On the one hand, the spiritual worldviews that compose them and on the other hand, their pedagogical dimension. Our hypothesis is that the intersection of both builds a narrative that promotes redemption scripts where two seemingly contradictory meanings prevail, although complementary to prison everyday life: salvation in individual terms, and redemption as a collective contribution to other members of the locked community. This intersection allows us to understand how a set of heterogeneous elements are articulated in the PERD, contributing to the daily management of the confinement. Analysis resulting from field work carried out for more than seven years in four prisons in the province of Santa Fe (Argentina), built from a qualitative approach and empirically based on participant observations and in-depth interviews with prisioners from the self-styled «Christian» wards or «churches», Directors and prison guards committed to the custody of those spaces. |

Narratives of religious conversion in church pavilions leaders and production of the prison order in Argentina «Se puede esconder de nosotros, pero de Dios no». Narrativas de conversión religiosa en líderes de pabellones iglesias y producción del orden carcelario en Argentina Manchado, Mauricio The proposal of this article is to describe the dynamics that the Pentecostal Evangelical Religious Device (PERD) assumes in the construction of the prison order of Argentine prisons, based on the analysis of the narratives of religious leaders —named as servants— of the so-called «church pavilions». The narratives will be approached from two of its constitutive dimensions. On the one hand, the spiritual worldviews that compose them and on the other hand, their pedagogical dimension. Our hypothesis is that the intersection of both builds a narrative that promotes redemption scripts where two seemingly contradictory meanings prevail, although complementary to prison everyday life: salvation in individual terms, and redemption as a collective contribution to other members of the locked community.

La propuesta de este artículo es describir las dinámicas que asume el dispositivo religioso evangélico pentecostal (DREP) en la construcción del orden carcelario de las prisiones argentinas, a partir del análisis de las narrativas de líderes religiosos —nombrados como siervos— de los denominados «pabellones iglesias». Las narrativas serán abordadas a partir de dos de sus dimensiones constitutivas. Por una parte, las cosmovisiones espirituales que las componen y por otro, su dimensión pedagógica. Nuestra hipótesis es que la intersección de ambas construye una narrativa promotora de guiones de redención donde imperan dos sentidos aparentemente contradictorios, aunque complementarios para la cotidianeidad carcelaria: la salvación en términos individuales, y la redención como aporte colectivo a otros integrantes de la comunidad encerrada. Dicha intersección permite comprender cómo un conjunto de elementos heterogéneos se articula en el DREP aportando a la gestión cotidiana del encierro. Análisis resultantes de un trabajo de campo realizado durante más de siete años en cuatro cárceles de la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina), construido desde un enfoque cualitativo y empíricamente sustentado en observaciones participantes y entrevistas en profundidad con detenidos de los pabellones autodenominados «cristianos» o «iglesias», Directivos y guardia-cárceles avocados a la custodia de dichos espacios.
