BRENTEGANI VIANNA, Fernanda and ALVARENGA REIS, Sandra. The interaction of the convict in the Public Jail of Poços de Caldas-MG. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.3, pp.557-574. ISSN 1677-1168.
This article aims to identify and analyze the interaction of the convict in the Public Jail of Poços de Caldas city. It is a punctual, qualitative, explanatory and field research using Badin’s proposal (2008). Thirty prisoners of both genders, and an institution’s official participated. The first of the seven visits had the objective of reaching an agreement with the participants. The other ones were used to collect the data. By checking how the prisoner interacts and lives his everyday life we’ve got to the conclusion that many changes are still needed to ameliorate the prison system. When interacting with other inmates, instead of being socialized, the arrested improves his criminal activity
