PUNISHMENT, CONTROL AND PRISONS:A SHORT OVERVIEW OF INCARCERATION IN BRAZIL
Abstract
This text aims to discuss how the prison in the West started, as well as how this new form of curtailment of freedom has become the most chosen when it comes to defining means of punishment and control over human life. Since its institution in the eighteenth century, surveillance over human delinquency has become a practice that has permeated not only penitentiary institutions, but fundamentally our daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how social life is permeated by the criterion of “seeing without being seen” and “monitoring without being monitored”. If on the one hand we have a constant control over human behavior in public spaces, penitentiaries have then become a space of total segregation, in the sense that they separate the normal from the abnormal, the “good citizen” from the delinquent. In this way, this text also addresses the situation of Brazilian penitentiaries, first in general and then, more emphatically, the reality of women’s prisons in our country. In addition, it should be noted that the text produced here adopted the scientific methodology of a bibliographic order, of a qualitative nature, judiciously based on a theoretical foundation based on scientific articles and books by authors who have studied and investigated the theme since the mid-1970s.
