The article's main objective is to present the state of library organizations Chilean prisons in the period 2010-2012, through basic quantitative indicators. The study identifies and describes three types of library organizations; Libraries, Learning Resource Centers CRA and finally Collections. The results of the study suggest that there are privileged and inmates have access to libraries and represent 12.1% of the prisons. The 62.6 % of the units of the Chilean prison system library services have at least basic, for its population. As for the staff in charge of the library organizations 19.3% are librarians however, 68.4 % of these organizations are run by a professional, whether librarian or teacher. The current Chilean law does not consider the existence of library services in criminal and therefore the foundation and maintenance of libraries or similar institutions depend wills of the relevant authorities.
