MAMELUQUE, Maria da Glória Caxito. The subjectivity of the imprisoned, a challenge for Psychology. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2006, vol.26, n.4, pp. 620-631. ISSN 1414-9893.

This work, presented to the Monographic prize Pedro Parafita Bessa, instituted by the Federal Council of Psychology in 2005, is a reflection about the subjectivity of the imprisoned as a challenge for Psychology. The prisional system is precarious, with prison super population, what generates conflicts and rebellions in the prisons. It doesn't favor the resocialization and the human being's recovery. It is urgent to reflect about the subjective dimension of the existence of imprisonment. This is the great challenge for Psychology, because Juridical Psychology is still an emerging practice with lack of bibliography, research and professional practice. It's necessary that this area of knowledge elaborates projects, using practices that can lead to changes. With the invigoration of the project of social commitment of Psychology, this challenge can be met, with great benefit for the human dignity of the imprisoned and for the whole society.
