Abstract
Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a formação de agrupamentos de travestis e transexuais encarceradas no Ceará. Por meio de narrativas produzidas a partir de dados etnográficos, remeter-se-á às diferentes condições de aprisionamento para pessoas trans - em momentos, espaços e agrupamentos variados - que são mobilizadas por discursividades concernente à política de gestão dessa população. Com isso, pretende-se discutir processos de Estado que identificam, classificam e agrupam travestis e transexuais como “perigosas”, “menos perigosas” ou “vulneráveis” como forma de gestão operada por práticas discursivas no controle e vigilância dessa população quando em cumprimento de pena privativa de liberdade.
Highlights
Over the last two decades, Brazil’s prison population has grown at an alarming rate
Ceará has five temporary detention centers, seven penitentiaries and prisons, a general hospital and criminal sanatorium, a psychiatric hospital, an agricultural initiative project, an agropastoral camp, two houses of detention and 131 public jails distributed throughout various cities in the state
For Dediane Souza, of the Fortaleza Council’s Coordinating Body for Diversity and activist in Ceará’s transvestite social movement, the criteria for the transfer of transvestites and transsexuals to the Irmã Imelda Lima Pontes prison were formulated from the perspective of “prize”, which falls well short of covering the demand for access to public policies that respect their gender identities when imprisoned
Summary
Over the last two decades, Brazil’s prison population has grown at an alarming rate. Data from the National Penitentiary Department indicate that in 2016 the number of people imprisoned was over 700,000.
