Resumo: | Despite representing less than 10% of the prison population, there is a significant increase in the number of women prisoners in Minas Gerais. While in 2003 we had 238 women arrested, by the end of 2013 we already accounted more than 2,805 women in custody in Minas’ chains, prisons and penitentiaries. However, the imprisonment of women and their participation in criminal acts are still recurrently analyzed from the perspective of exoticism, as if this link was ‘unnatural’ for female representatives, with explanations ranging from economism and morality, where the financial situation, loving partnership, exacerbated sexuality, lack of character and / or wickedness appear as the predominant explanation for women’s involvement in crime. As we go back in the history of punishments under the lens of feminist theories, we enter in a restricted and very traditional field of studies, emphasizing the importance of analyzing the women’s prisons from the prisoners’ experiences, seeking to understand and question the selectivity and control requirements that characterize our penal system, forging naturalization and covering sociohistorical processes that contribute to the capture of certain women and condemn them to deprivation of liberty. |

Enquanto, em 2003, contávamos 238 presas, no fim de 2013, já contabilizávamos mais de 2.805 mulheres custodiadas em cadeias, presídios e penitenciárias mineiras. Entretanto, o aprisionamento de mulheres e a participaçãodessas em atos criminais ainda são recorrentemente analisadas pelo viés do exotismo, como se essa vinculação fosse ‘antinatural’ para as representantes do sexo feminino, carecendo de explicações que vão do economicismo à moralidade, onde a condição financeira, a parceria amorosa, a sexualidade exacerbada, a falta de caráter e/ou a perversidade aparecem comoas explicações predominantes para o envolvimento das mulheres com a criminalidade. Ao nos remetermos à história das punições sob as lentes das teorias feministas, buscamos adentrar um campo de estudos restrito e muito tradicional, ressaltando a importância de analisarmos as instituições prisionais para mulheres a partir das experiências das presas, buscando compreender e questionar os imperativos de seletividade e controle que caracterizam o nosso sistema penal, os quais forjam naturalizações e encobrem processos sócio-históricos que contribuem para a captura de determinadas mulheres e as condenam à privação da liberdadeUniversidade Federal de Santa Catarina2017-02-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/3666310.1590/%xRevista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2017); 99-116Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 25 Núm. 1 (2017); 99-116Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 25 n. 1 (2017); 99-1161806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/36663/33663Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho, Daniela TiffanyMayorga, Cláudia2020-10-28T21:48:22Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/36663Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:22.099311Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
