By contributing to the emerging field of visual criminology, this article explores current practices around photography of prisoners in the everyday contexts of the prison space. Drawing on a qualitative study conducted with prisoners, prison guards and probation officers in three Portuguese prisons, we analyse how different social actors construct the criminal body. This construction is explored through the meanings attributed to prisoners’ photographic portraits used for their identification. In particular, we discuss how their photographic documentation acts as a classification device and a visual representation of the criminal. We argue that this representation, by portraying elements of unworthiness, unpleasantness and immutability, plays a significant role in the parole board’s decisions and produce an embodied sense of identity and perpetuation of stigma.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The authors would like to thank the support to this study through FEDER from the Operational Programme Factors of Competitiveness - COMPETE and through national funding from the Foundation for Science and Technology - FCT (Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science) within the grant SFRH/BD/70055/2010.
