Abstract
CHEIBUB, Waleska Borges. Disciplinary practices and drug use: ilegalism management in contemporaneous scene. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2006, vol.26, n.4, pp. 548-557. ISSN 1414-9893.
This article focuses the issue of drug use and its relation to the prisional system. According to Michel Foucault, the power to punish is less likely to function as a mere repressive act towards the use of psychoactive substances. Its real purpose can be more accurately referred to the management of ilegalisms. The relations between power and knowledge - found within the disciplinary techniques - are related to the norm and to the production of truth.
