This research has aimed at discussing the constitution of identity among the interns from the Assistance and Protection Association of the Convicteds in Viçosa (Associação de Proteção e Assistência aos Condenados de Viçosa APAC), in real and effective process of rehabilitation. In order to do so, we have analyzed how these subjects build their own self , starting from narratives they had written themselves. We have also investigated the inter-discourses that surfaced throughout the study. The corpus was composed of twenty-one (21) narratives, produced voluntarily along the writing workshops given by the researcher. This work took into consideration not only methodological-theoretical background of the Critical Discourse studies (Fairclough, 2001, 2003), but also reflections and debates concerning identity (Hall, 2002; Bauman, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2008; Pennycook, 2008), aside from the researches about repression and punishment at such regulatory institutions (Foucault, 2010; Kloch e Motta, 2008). As the general results, we could observe that the inmates do not figure themselves as victims, but as responsible for their own acts and their consequences. Besides that, such men represent the prison per se as a good locus, or an opportunity to change their lives, becoming better people. In terms of the inmates‟ identity, in a few narratives, we can see fluidity whereas in some other cases there can be seen identity fragmentation. Some of these take a turn into a negative semantic pole: murdered, drug dealer, savage. Even though they are rebuilt this way, the inmates still constitute themselves as reflexive subjects, which are open to transformation, through perception of the violations they have committed, or through the omnipresent APAC‟s discourse.
