FIGUEIREDO, Ana Cristina Costa  and  GRANJA, Rafaela Patrícia Gonçalves. Family and Affective-Sexual Bonds of Women in Brazilian and Portuguese Prisons. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.3, pp.1-12. ISSN 2359-0769.  https://doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20i3.e10358.

This article proposes to analyze the challenges that imprisoned women face in maintaining family, affective and sexual contact. This reflection is based on a comparative analysis between Brazil and Portugal. In both countries, there is primacy of surveillance, which means reduced contact possibilities, lack of privacy during visits, and limitations or prohibitions on telephone contacts. Notwithstanding the differences between contexts, it is therefore clear that maintaining ties during imprisonment is a challenge in both countries, suggesting the need for change so that prisoners' rights can be guaranteed.

Keywords : family ties; affective-sexual relationship; prisons; women; Brazil; Portugal.
