Abstract

This research project strives to achieve a better understanding of everyday and creative components in implementing traditional and new practices of religious belonging and carceral sociability. Religion in prison represents an arena in which all the political challenges, conflicts and negotiations of a fast-moving society can be observed in miniature. The final objective is contributing to the process of integration for 'non-standard' citizens, enhancing the importance of multiculturalism
