The data used come from interviews carried out among 928 prisoners, 35.9% of the total population of that penal institution. The results seem to show a certain specialization: out of the state immigrants whit crimes of federal jurisdiction, connected to drug trafficking and humans beings traffic; and natives from Baja California with courts of equity crimes. An increase in drug consumption may be observed inside the prison, and much higher consumption by those born in Baja California. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar el perfil de los internos en el Cereso de Mexicali según lugar de nacimiento en relación con los delitos que motivaron su reclusión y con el consumo de drogas. Los datos utilizados provienen de las entrevistas realizadas a 928 reclusos (35.9% de la población total del penal). Los resultados parecen indicar cierta especialización: los inmigrantes en delitos del fuero federal (asociados al narcotráfico y al tráfico de personas) y los nativos en aquellos del fuero común. También se observa un incremento en el consumo de drogas dentro del penal y un mayor consumo por parte de los nacidos en Baja California.
