ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the
characteristics of a prison institution
in the perspective of closure, or in the various
applications that transform in that Goffman conceptualizes as “total institutions.” In complement, the discipline, analyzed in the light of Foucault, is at
the heart of promoting this closure. The metodological procedure is the
comparative study with these two authors cited in complement with the
newspapers that discuss the current fragility of prisons. It is verified that
persons promotes numerous tactics to adapt, in order to make bearable the
experience within the prisons. Thus, the work points to the emergence of a
tactic in which it is
possible the reversion or appropriations of the prisional space, causing therefore the
porosity of prisional institutions.
