| Resumo: | The theme of the research is inserted at a field of intersection between the Sociology of
Religion and Sociology of Violence, having as the general objective study the sociological
meaning of the conversion of prisoners that lives at the biggest prison (Prison of Alcaçuz) of
Rio Grande do Norte to the evangelical churches. The research is justified, because Brazil
shelter the fourth greater arrested population arrested of the world, with projections indicating
that it can turn the greatest in 2034. Besides, this study about religious conversion of
prisoners to the Social Sciences is too important, because is a theme little developed in Brazil
and deserves attention, one time that as the arrested people as the evangelicals are in
expansion in our country. Starting from the precedent observations, we guide ourselves by the
following problematic of research: the religious practice in Alcaçuz presents a mere
instrumental perspective, where the actions of prisoners converted was on purpose oriented to
conquest material or symbolic privileges; or purely religious, where seek a moral renovation?
To develop the work, the scientific methodology adopted was exploratory and explanatory,
using the Goffman´s theory about total institutions and presentation of self, and Blumer´s
doctrine relating to Symbolic Interacionism and the Story life method, besides considerations
about evangelical religion. Having this theoretical basis, was accomplished the Field research,
when were made interviews and applied questionnaires to 11 Jailer Agents, 31 prisoners,
Director and Vice-Dictor (in November, 2011), the coordinator of social projects of the prison
and the coordinator of evangelization at the prisons in Rio Grande do Norte. As results, it was
seeing in Alcaçuz that the prisoners can be separated in two groups: the one of Pavilions and
other one of the Medical Section. The Pavilions are branded for managerial and structural
problems, where are found idle prisoners in collective cells and with a historical of escaping
attempts, mutinies and murders. The Medical Section has some individual cells or destined for
two people, besides few collective also, and the prisoners work and have a more disciplined
behavior, there isn t escapes or rebellions and that, for these reasons end for have more
confidence from the Administration. About the presence of evangelical prisoners, most are at
Medical Section, where exist a specific place to the cults (what doesn t at Pavilions). At the
end, the conclusion is that the prisoner that says himself evangelical in Alcaçuz, although can
be seeing with distrust about your real conversion, he gets win a trust vote and until the
opposite being demonstrated in other words, that he is not hiding himself behind the bible
to divert the vigilance of Direction and practice disciplinary faults without make any
suspicions, is treated with more respect and has more opportunities live at Medical Section;
have work, that most of times is paid and guarantee the homologation of your payment of
penalty with work, besides other benefits, diminishing his time in jail |
