Entre a vida na rua e os encontros com a prisão: um estudo a partir das audiências de custódia

Abstract

The research tried to understand the control of street people s circulation, studying the effects of detention, the possibilities of encountering the prison and the punitive mechanisms in different territories, considering the race as a relevant marker of space. In order to do so, it was observed the inside and the outside of custody hearings in the Núcleo de Prisão em Flagrante, the documental analysis of proceedings related to the audiences followed as well as those up to five years before the prison that generated that hearing. The empirical research allowed us to confront documents and speeches of institutional actors, with a careful look at the anti-black speech in the face-to-face meeting once with the prisoner and in the use of legal mechanisms in judicial practice. This research also works with the hidden functions of red-handed arrest, pre-trial detention and various prison protective measures in two different periods of the year 2018 in Salvador. Among the retributive and correctionalist pretensions, in different demands for order, we studied the closed circuit around the precarious freedoms of the street population that presents permanencies of a punitive power forged in slavery
