| description |
Although prison violence has been studied in developed countries, there is little empirical evidence of the phenomenon in developing countries. This article analyzes violence within Chilean facilities, specifically two of its most common manifestations: inmate-inmate violence and guard-inmate. To do so, this study uses both administrative data from Gendarmeria de Chile as well as survey data from the First Survey on Inmates? Perceptions of Prison Life (Espinoza, MartiÌnez & Sanhueza, 2014). Results show that inmate-inmate violence is more likely to occur in prisons with higher concentrations of young inmates (IRR = 0.786), the proportion of inmates classified with high criminal contagion (IRR = 1.042) and a greater total population (IRR = 1.0008). On the other hand, violence from guard to inmates is more likely to affect men (OR = 3.37) and those who live in private prisons (OR = 1.64); on the contrary, having suffered physical mistreatment from guards is less likely when inmates are visited more often (OR = 0.77), when they knew how to fill out grievances (OR = 0.75), and when inmates had a better perception of prison infrastructure (OR = 0.68). Finally, implications for public policy and new questions are suggested.

Este artiÌculo analiza la violencia al interior de las caÌrceles chilenas, especiÌficamente para dos de sus maÌs comunes manifestaciones: violencia entre reclusos y aquella que se da desde guardias a internos. Para ello utiliza tanto datos administrativos de GendarmeriÌa de Chile como datos de la Primera Encuesta de PercepcioÌn de Calidad de Vida Penitenciaria (Espinoza, MartiÌnez & Sanhueza, 2014). Los resultados muestran que la violencia entre internos es maÌs probable que ocurra en caÌrceles con concentraciones maÌs altas de internos joÌvenes (IRR=0.786), de alto compromiso (historia) delictual (IRR=1.042) y con mayor poblacioÌn total (IRR=1.0008). Por otro lado, la violencia de guardia a interno es maÌs probable que afecte a hombres (OR = 3.37), de caÌrceles concesionadas (OR = 1.64); por el contrario, la violencia de guardia a interno es menos probable cuando los internos son visitados maÌs frecuentemente (OR=0.77), cuando saben coÌmo llenar reclamos (OR=0.75) cuando percepcioÌn mejor la infraestructura penitenciaria (OR=0.68).
