| description | This article aims to investigate the potentialities and difficulties of the theories of desistance from crime to analyze narratives of prison experiences of those who inhabit or inhabited the Evangelical Pentecostal Religious Device (DREP, by its acronym in Spanish) in prisons of the province of Santa Fe (Argentina). Throughout a qualitative methodology based on in-depth interviews and participant observations with prisoners living in the so-called “church-pavilions”, and people in charge of prison ministries outside the prison, we recognized the emergence of narratives based on multiple prosperities (sanitary, economic and penal) both inside and outside the prison. In these narratives, a proposal for personal transformation and identity changes emerges. That proposal is examined in the light of the theories of crime desistance, to analyze the subjective passages of the “offender” to the “desistent”. Therefore, the various approaches of these theories are questioned, by means of the dynamics and the effects that DREP assumes both in prisons and in post-confinement experiences. The investigation provides new explanatory elements to a phenomenon in full expansion throughout Latin America. |

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo indagar las potencialidades y dificultades de las teorías del desistimiento del delito para analizar narrativas de experiencias carcelarias de quienes habitan el dispositivo religioso evangélico pentecostal (DREP) en prisiones de la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina). A partir de un diseño metodológico cualitativo, basado en entrevistas en profundidad y observaciones participantes con presos que habitan los denominados “pabellones-iglesias” y encargados de los Ministerios Carcelarios extramuros, reconocimos la emergencia de narrativas fundadas en múltiples prosperidades –sanitarias, económicas y penales– tanto dentro como fuera de la prisión. En ellas emerge una propuesta de transformación personal y cambios identitarios que se pone en estrecha relación con las teorías del desistimiento, para analizar los pasajes subjetivos del “ofensor” al “desistente”. Por tanto, procuramos tensionar los diversos enfoques de dichas teorías con las dinámicas y efectos que asume el DREP en prisiones, y aportar nuevos elementos explicativos a un fenómeno en plena expansión en toda América Latina.
