Abstract
The present essay describes selected research performed at the Santa Marta Men’s Social-Reinsertion Center in Mexico City, whose principal object was to understand Santa Muerte religious practices at that correctional facility. The proposal gave rise to a number of issues including the use of the body and the body’s relationship to religious practices, in a context where control is ubiqui- tous. The nature of this prison-related control is revealed to then posit a thesis on the importance of the body as a means of resisting prison-related power.
