| Abstract | |
This study focuses on the jail and the Penitentiary located in the city of São Paulo while the Criminal Code of the Empire was in force (18301890). Firstly, we sought to assess the impact of the provisions of the 1830 Code on the dynamics of the Capital City Jail, previously ruled by the Civil Code of the Philippines Book V. After that, we analyzed the Penitentiary conception, the pitfalls of its construction works up to the partial opening in the 1850s, which are connected to the political changes that occurred along this period and seems to be an answer to the call for organization and restructuring of the State. Next, we considered that the proposals for modernization of the coercive apparatus based on European and North- American models of punishment and correction could not be effectively organized mainly due to the population growth and costly large scale implementation. In addition, we studied the prison population profile in both institutions based on the works and tasks performed by the inmates. Therefore, we observed the Penitentiarys workshops, the public work of the inmates and the work of free African people and slaves imprisoned in dungeon. Finally, we studied the guards and other employees of these prisons to find out who they were and the kind of relationship they developed with the inmates. (AU) | |
