**Abstract**

This document presents the autoethnographic work and the data collection techniques used in my doctoral thesis as tools that have served to explore the connection between the individual and the social, as well as to validate the evocative narrative as a methodological tool in the construction of a new feminist knowledge from prison and shows my experiences lived in the San Miguel prison (CERESO) in the city of Puebla, Mexico.
