Abstract
This paper is based on research in the Establecimiento Penitenciario Mujeres de Chorrillos in Lima, Peru. I will analyze how citizenship intersects with race and gender inside the prison in order to limit or make available access to resources. Incarcerated non-Peruvians serving sentences for drug trafficking are the focus of this paper. Although the women included in this paper were all extranjeras, their citizenship status, combined with other positionalities, influenced their access to resources in multiple ways. Citizenship Is also a key factor in structuring relationships between foreign and Peruvian prisoners and the resulting hierarchy of this prison.
