Resumo: Over the last two decades, the international literature in the field of prison studies, but also in areas of public health and the administration of justice, has been highlighting specific issues related to the progressive increase of the incarceration of older people. However, there are few social studies about this theme in Portugal the institutional policies directed to respond to the specific needs and characteristics of this group are non-existent. Drawing from a set of ten interviews conducted with women in the Female Santa Cruz do Bispo Special Prison Establishment, this paper aims to understand the meanings attributed to aging in prison, by taking into account the narratives produced by inmates over 50 years about their experiences and, post-incarceration expectations.

Contudo, são escassos os estudos sociais sobre este tema em Portugal sendo também inexistentes as políticas institucionais direcionadas para responder às necessidades e características específicas dos reclusos idosos. Partindo de um conjunto de dez entrevistas com mulheres, realizadas no Estabelecimento Prisional Especial de Santa Cruz do Bispo Feminino, almeja-se compreender os processos de atribuição de sentido ao envelhecimento na prisão, através das narrativas construídas por parte de reclusas com mais de 50 anos, em torno das vivências prisionais e das expectativas de reintegração futura na sociedade.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2014-01-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/interconexoes.2014.8576oai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/8576Interconexões; v. 2 n. 1 (2014); 65-762182-614510.34632/interconexoes.2014.2.1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/interconexoes/article/view/8576https://doi.org/10.34632/interconexoes.2014.8576https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/interconexoes/article/view/8576/8456Direitos de Autor (c) 2014 Adriana Silvahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Adriana2022-09-20T15:12:16Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/8576Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:51:02.916395Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
