Abstract
The Colonia Correcional de Dois Rios (CCDR) [Dois Rios Penal Colony] began its life in September1894, at the very origins of the authoritarian and exclusionary penal experience of the Brazilian Republic. Within the context of the state of exception, a significant increase in the inmate population was recorded in the 1930s, which came to include hundreds of political prisoners, among them Graciliano Ramos and journalist Heron Pereira Pinto, who both compared the Colony to a concentration camp in their memoirs. The present article aims to discuss the CCDR’s trajectory as a space of exception and for the production of “naked life”, according to the theoretical frameworks proposed by Giorgio Agamben.
