SUMMARY:

In this dissertation, we intend to propose a connection between Care,
Social Reproduction, Gender and the Prison System. We start from the assumption
that Care is feminized, because it is carried out mostly by
women and by female bodies. Our hypothesis is that those who care for
women in prison are, in the majority of cases, other women who are also

Institute for the Defense of the Right to Defense (IDDD), as well as data from official governmental
agencies such as IBGE, CNJ, IPEA and INFOPEN. Our field observations,
made in 2022 and 2023, were guided above all by observing and
