| Yhteenveto: | The Brazilian prison system is going through a serious crisis, not only due to the growth in the
number of prisoners and the consequent overcrowding of prisons, but also for the violation of
human rights, institutionalization and difficulty in social rehabilitation of inmates.
Furthermore, the harmful effects of the prison system affect their workers, who generally are
not prioritized by researchers, health programs and government policies. The literature
pointing to some consequences of work in prison, among them, the mental illness, stress,
alcohol abuse, etc., but little is known about this profession, their problems, the difficulties of
their work routine, so as subjective processes involved. So, what are the effects of this work
in the prison in the lives of correctional officers? What strategies developed to address the
work in prison? This research aims to analyze the effects of this work in the prison in the lives
of correctional officers from the state prison in Parnamirim, located in the metropolitan region
of Natal-RN. Within the theoretical and methodological perspective of institutional analysis
and cartography were carried conversation circles, interviews, in addition to participant
observation of the correctional officers work’s routine. The results point to a working routine
marked by the performance of procedures that involve risk to the worker, generating
situations of tension and stress. Besides, the culture of violence (which is implemented in jail
everyday) as well as the training and initial learning of the profession, are responsible for the
militarization process of the subjectivities of the correctional officers, producing hard subject,
disciplined, stiff, likely to violent practices and other rights violations. Other mapped effects
relate to the acquisition of knowledge about the human (“psy” knowledge) responsible for
forging the conception of the criminal as "dangerous subject", which, in turn, acts as
subjectivity vector in the daily life of prison guards by setting up a way of life crossed by fear
and insecurity outside the work environment. Produces a control in the open about their lives
and their families, limiting them with regard to family and community life and the realization
of leisure activities in public spaces. In this sense, it appears that the arrest acts producing
“bad meetings” (from Espinosa's perspective), once it produces sad affections responsible for
weakening the conatus, limiting the possibilities of action of these subjects. Although agents
develop some strategies to deal with the difficulties of working in prison (among which stand
out the development of other professional or leisure activities, spirituality / religiosity and the
ability to separate the labor moments from those of their the personal lives, is advocated that
such strategies do not offer significant resistance, since they do not question the contemporary
legal-criminal logic. The thesis presented supports the proposals of penal abolitionism to
present other conceptions of crime and justice through the invention of other practical and
conceptual strategies. |
