A solidão das mulheres no sistema carcerário: uma questão estrutural

Abstract

This study aims to analyze fragments of the life histories of women imprisoned in the Dr. João Chaves Penal Complex. In order to contextualize a research, it was necessary to make a brief explanation about the history of imprisonment of penalties and the problem of female criminality, which affirms an androcentric orientation guiding the actions of repressive institutions. The ethnographic study, which brings up the principle of human dignity as an analytical category of human rights, focuses on the actions of the analyzed institution in the area of health, sexual law, execution of sentences and the legal and social assistance of women who are imprisoned. The research was carried out through ethnographic analysis, obtained through the author's participant experience in the field of study. In-depth and bibliographic analysis of texts that identify with the issue were incorporated. As a result, I found in most of the analyzed life itineraries the common factor the type of crime committed, which in most cases are illicit drug trafficking, their common experience of having their rights denied by the State/ Institutions/society, such as the right to maternity, health, education and the deep experience of a loneliness based on a social structure which is racist, classist and misogynist.
