“Tô preso na rua”: dinâmicas de punição para além das grades

Abstract

The present dissertation deals with the dynamics of punishment beyond prison present in the reports of former prisoners, users of the Social Office of Bahia. The research's main objective is to analyze under which aspects the State, which holds racism as a structuring pillar, acts in maintaining punishment as a constant in the trajectory of black people who have passed through punitive networks. Thus, based on the notion of racism as a substantive variable of the penal system, the work is dedicated to analyzing the interviews collected in the field and discussing, based on the narratives of these former prisoners, the technologies of punishment that permeate these people's lives. For this, this dissertation dialogues with issues related to gender, electronic monitoring, social policies for graduates, and also with the theme of resocialization. The results obtained show that the modus operandi of the punitive device is structured in such a way as to keep these bodies selected to lead their ranks in a permanent condition of punishment, whether due to marginalization and/or the absence of rights and opportunities, or for issues more directly linked to the functioning of institutions, perpetuating a punitive dynamic that goes beyond the scope of prison.
