Abstract

This is a thesis about the multiple dimensions of the security measure, a category that falls on people who, once criminalized, were diagnosed with a mental disorder. Considered criminally irresponsible (non-imputable), they are not regulated by the retributive model of guilt, but by the prophylactic model of society defense, which understands that the danger, associated with madness, must be contained until its cessation. Situated between Criminal Law and Psychiatry, the security measure mobilizes security and tutelary technologies in border regions, marked by cloudiness and ambivalence. In order to understand how this legal institute is empirically elaborated and enacted, the text pursues the institutional life line of Cíntia, an interlocutor who was arrested and sentenced to serve a security measure, transiting through several prison-asylum institutions, until she reached her final destination. By following her, I pull threads from the lifelines of other interlocutors, whose experiences allow access to different territories where the security measure is enacted. The ethnographic research took place within procedural records, psychiatric reports, criminal forums, medical-legal institutes, psychiatric wards of prisons, judicial asylums and health institutions, analyzing the way in which public administrators and subjects administered by the security measure enact this category in their daily actions.
