Abstract

The physical separation of men and women inside public prisons, although attempted to apply, was only nationally regulated with the Penal Code of 1940. Among the penitentiaries created from the Code is the Prison of Women of the State of São Paulo. Inaugurated in 1942, the establishment remained under the management of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd of Angers until 1977. The same Congregation also administered the Tremembé Women\'s Prison, from its inauguration in 1963 until the advent of secular management, In 1980. Based on bibliographical research associated with intense and extensive documentary research in national and international archives, the present work contributes to the elucidation of the legislative and institutional paths of female imprisonment, identifying historical subjects and their roles in the political-penal framework. For this, the text brings the identification and location of an extensive documentary apparatus composed of unpublished sources. In addition, the work identifies and proposes a legislative chronology regarding criminal execution in the state of São Paulo and in national territory; And reveals the institutional trajectory of the Good Shepherd congregation, from its origins to its hiring for the female prison administration in the state of São Paulo, analyzing its performance.
