| Abstract | |
This dissertation aims to answer the following question: how are lives, times and spaces produced as a result of links with the criminal justice system established from outside prison walls? It departs from an ethnographic approach to the daily lives of individuals who, subjected to different forms of control located between the street and the prison – such as provisional release, conditional release and open regime – gravitate around the Association of Families and Friends of Prisoners (Amparar), a São Paulo collective dedicated to caring for people affected by the criminal justice system. An approach to punishment from its margins (Das; Poole, 2004) allowed us to conclude that, in the interstices between the street and the prison, time and space are modulated according to three inseparable elements: (i) what one imagines (or not) about the legal link established with the State, given that it operates through threads of opacity on its margins; (ii) what one chooses to do and can do, considering available resources and power relations; (iii) the power effects that institutional arrangements place on daily circuits, both in the present and in the future. By considering how the State is constituted and disputed by lines of force that govern local worlds, it is suggested that the \"connection established with the State\" is the result of negotiations between the judiciary, the crime and the police, who become responsible for influencing the ways in which punishment flows over everyday life. And, in discussing Amparar\'s activities, it is argued that \"what one chooses to do and can do\" in the face of the punitive State gains other alternatives with proper support, capable of tracing escape routes for lives that, navigating precarious presents and uncertain futures, always seem to be on their way back to prison. In short, it is suggested that the interstices constitute a time-space as particular as prisons, becoming responsible for guiding from the minutiae of daily life, in its flows and relations with the urban world, to life projections and future plans. As a result, boundaries between the street and the prison are made, unmade and frequently crossed, shedding light on the very nature of extra-prison confinement (and freedom) (AU) | |
