SANTOS, Thalita Mara dos and SILVA, Luiz Carlos Avelino da. Prison egresses subjects and the process of (re)insertion. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.3, pp.975-993. ISSN 1677-1168. https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2017v23n3p975-993.
This work, as a result of the master’s thesis entitled "Prison egresses subjects: the return to freedom and the social (re)integration", aimed to approach the process of social reintegration of prison egresses from their own perspective. It constitutes a qualitative study, using the interpretative method of Psychoanalysis. Seven prison egresses from the city of Uberlândia, state of Minas Gerais, were subjects from this study through semi-structured interviews with audio recording and transcription of the interviews that were subsequently analyzed in a psychoanalytic perspective. With the procedures, it was found the fascination that crime (especially drug trafficking), as a way of life, exerts on poor adolescents – and on the period of permanence in prison – all the cruelty that it embraces. It was observed, mainly regarding the social reintegration process of prison egresses, the necessity to relativize the conception about the meaning of freedom and reintegration for these subjects.
