The effects and impact of prison policy on the daily lives of female relatives of prisoners. Is being a prisoner's family a crime?
This work is based on an autoethnography, as a method that allows an analysis based on the personal narratives of the author of this research, linking qualitative research methods with the aim of studying the experience of the movement of family members of prisoners Amparar - Association of Family and Friends of Prisoners and inmates of the Fundação Casa. This study covers the history from the 1990s and the political struggle to guarantee the rights of adolescents in a systematic context of violations in the socio-educational system, touched on by the movements active in defending the rights of children and adolescents and the mothers involved in the Amparar organization until the transition to Amparar. It also takes a closer look at state violations in prison and their relationship with existing public policies and the demand for them to be guaranteed and enforced. In this sense, this study demonstrates the potential of autoethnography as a research tool linked to the struggle of women to guarantee their rights and those of their families deprived of their liberty in the state of São Paulo.
