This research addresses the historical-social context city of Boys in the Pillar neighborhood, Municipality of Duque de Caxias, in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro State, focusing on the public service policy for minors and adolescents, done by the Christ Redentor Foundation since 1943. The project was conceived by Darcy Vargas, then first lady, aiming initially to "poor helpless girls" in boarding school, to educate them and time them within the standard of current society. Subsequently, the shelter was given to FACR ( Fundação Abrigo Cristo Redentor - Cristo Redeemer Shelter Foundation) created in the same period and absorbing the existing Shelter Christ Redentor, which has already assisted the homeless from the city of Rio de Janeiro. The direction of the Foundation was in charge of Levy Miranda, who initially transformed the place for girls, in a shelter only for boys, giving it origin to the name of the site. From a Ethnography retrospective (Cunha, 2005), and, taking it as reference to the notion of biopolitics, of Michel Foucault (2011), this study aims to analyse the forms of administrative organization of the Cristo Redentor Shelter, its guidelines and everyday practices regarding to discipline, the kind of social relationship developed between the interns and other social actors involved as well as the discipline process of the bodies conducted by the institution. In this sense, also seeks to characterize the relationship of construction of shelters with the ideals of the policies and practices of social assistance to the "less fortunate" at that time, analyzing the partnerships established in the public-private context with an emphasis on power relationships and institutionalization in order social.
