Abstract

This study examined how prison guards position themselfs towards the speech of the purposes of prison system and what strategies they develop in face of the ambiguous dynamics of inclusion / exclusion that are developed in prison environments. The field research constituted the prisons that integrate the 5th Penitentiary Region of Rio Grande do Sul. The results show that the prison guards perform the function / activity, ressocialization" more due to the lack of structural and human resources in the prison system than to policies consistently designed and implemented. They attach the execution of "ressocializing activities" to execution of work and to the promotion of assistance for prisoners. Thus, the intent of this study was to contribute to the triggering of policies that, in a more scientific and enlightened way, influence in current and future situations and junctures of the criminal justice system, seeking its improvement. So when the genesis and dynamics of the strategies used by prison guards to live with the conflicts of such peculiar environment are understood, actions can be taken to minimize the conflicts of such environments
