Para tal aproximação utilizamos a observação participante, screening survey, entrevistas e a entrevista em profundidade com os internos e demais atores/agentes do Sistema Penal. Propomos uma análise baseada na identificação dos tipos de vitimização e na compreensão de como os diversos atores/agentes do Sistema interpretam e se apropriam dos processos vitimógenos que ocorrem no contexto da instituição penal, bem como na identificação de estratégias de enfrentamento com o intuito de contribuir para o estabelecimento de políticas de proteção, ora inexistentes. Essa análise buscou abranger os aspectos interpessoais e estruturais dos processos de vitimização, partindo do pressuposto de que estão inter-relacionados e de que se constroem mutuamente. As ideias centrais encontradas nas falas e nos relatos de campo foram identificadas e, do agrupamento dessas ideias, as categorias empíricas foram delineadas contando com o auxílio do software Nvivo. Para a análise dos dados, construímos um modelo específico baseado nessas categorias, nas microteorias sobre vitimização e ancorado nos pressupostos da teoria da estruturação e da abordagem estruturalista construcionista. De uma população aproximada de 1350 internos, foi realizado um screening survey com 591 pessoas presas para identificação de possíveis participantes. Dentre elas, 321 (54,3%) relataram algum tipo de vitimização (física, psicológica ou material)dentro do Sistema, totalizando 371 referências. Do total dos internos contatados nessa etapa, 107 foram entrevistados de forma aprofundada, além de 20 integrantes do staff. Concluímos que o alto índice de vitimização está relacionado ao sistema social existente na prisão, o qual é caracterizado por estratificação, exclusão e relações autoritárias legitimadas pelas instituições, que vulnerabilizam a pessoa custodiada e aponta para uma maior vitimização física entre pares. Já a instituição se configura como o maior agente vitimógeno quando analisamos a vitimização material como categoria isolada. De um modo geral, o cotidiano calcado nas relações interpessoais tem sido fonte de maior preocupação para os internos do que as condições ou procedimentos institucionais. A insegurança é a marca dos discursos, a qual é alimentada por processos de dominação e poder, comandados por internos – líderes de facções organizadas – que atuam dentro e fora da prisão e pela ausência de intervenção institucional satisfatória, com consequências, por vezes, letais para a sociedade intra e extramuros, ultrapassando, em muito, a pena privativa de liberdade imposta a qualquer um dos condenados à prisão.

This thesis will shed light on the mechanics of women's enclosure in Spanish cinema and television since the transition to democracy, particularly convent and prison spaces. The study aims to make an original contribution to the field of Spanish cultural studies by highlighting the tension between these spaces as sites of control and sites of community, a tension which both problematizes and enriches the negotiation of the abject, the excessive, and the inassimilable within Spain. Following some contextual scene-setting laid out in the Introduction, the first two chapters explore how the convent was recuperated in the popular imagination after the end of the dictatorship. The first chapter will examine convent space in three post-transition biopics of the sixteenth century Spanish mystic, Teresa de Jesús: Josefina Molina's 1984 TVE television series, Teresa de Jesús, Ray Loriga's 2007 film Teresa, el cuerpo de Cristo, and Jorge Dorado's recent TV movie, Teresa (2015). This analysis will unravel the concrete and historical forces which have shaped representations of the saint's space, particularly how Teresa's mysticism has imbued the convent with authority as a political tool in defining national identity and gender roles. Equally, it will examine how the ineffable experience of the mystic ultimately makes the space unassimilable to any overarching power structure. The impossibility of assimilating convent space will then be the focus of the second chapter which explores the use of different aesthetic registers to render the convent socially intelligible in two mid-eighties convent films, Entre tinieblas (Almodóvar 1983) and Extramuros (Picazo 1985). The next two chapters focus on the construction and management of Otherness in representations of female homosocial enclosure during the mid-nineties. The third chapter looks at two adaptions of the stage play, Canción de cuna - José María Elorrieta's 1961 version and José Luis Garci's 1994 remake - to examine how the radical Otherness of convent enclosure has been mitigated on screen in order to ease anxieties around unmarried, childless women, and to reclaim the space as part of the national landscape. Chapter 4's analysis of Libertarias (Aranda 1995) and Entre rojas (Rodriguez 1996) will contrast this with a study of how the Otherness inherent to homosocial enclosure has also been exploited as a path towards new imaginings of community and intimacy. The final section will examine gender, memory, and martyrdom in women's prison films since 2000: Las trece rosas (Martínez-Lázaro 2007), La voz dormida (Zambrano 2011), and Estrellas que alcanzar (Rueda 2010). This chapter will consider how enclosed environments have been used to frame martyrdom narratives, problematically situating them at the intersection of traditional Catholic iconography and more contemporary depictions of imprisoned and confined women. While the study focuses primarily on cultural production since the transition to democracy, emphasis is placed throughout on tracing the roots of these representations to earlier hagiography, missionary films, and the cine religioso of the 1950s. These connections not only demonstrate the endurance of the convent and prison as significant sites in the Spanish popular imagination but also their versatility as a signifying force and the need for more nuanced readings of them in cultural studies.

In an era characterised by impacts of cuts and austerity in the UK, this study is positioned at the interface between two socio-cultural institutions against which societies are judged: the arts and criminal justice. Within this field, the thesis investigates the ways women in prison are positioned in a carceral performance that is cyclical and inevitably ‘tragic’. The argument considers the tactics women use in order to firstly, survive their incarceration, and sometimes, resist, the institution. The theoretical frame is drawn from feminist criminology and Bourdieu’s ‘habitus’ to examine everyday performances as well as theatrical works by and about incarcerated women. This project adds to the field by locating performance practices in and of prison within wider social contexts of the politics of carceral spaces. The main questions posed by this project were ‘what does theatre/ performance offer to challenge stereotypes of ‘the cage’?; and to what extent and in what ways does performance in (and of) prison challenge/ subvert/ augment/ transform the site itself’? The research sought to understand to what extent women’s articulations of subjectivity could be a radical alternative to the logocentric and discursive prisons of sentences and prison records. The study was developed as an ethnographic examination of performance in and of prison, alongside exploring how contemporary performance modes are implicated in defining, containing, and correcting (criminal) women’s everyday performances. The thesis is primarily concerned with a critical reflection on theatre practices in prison, with particular emphasis on the political implications of the effects of prison as/and performance. The study makes claims for a radical practice in and about prisons that is distanced from current applied theatre practices, and as such points towards a more troubled rehearsal of how punishment is performed.

The criminal justice system in the United States was not created to treat mentally ill people. Despite this fact, the number of seriously mentally ill people in prisons and jails now exceeds the number in state psychiatric hospitals by tenfold. At the same time, the epidemic of mass incarceration in the United States has become one of the most pressing economic and social problems our country has faced in the last three decades. One novel approach to reducing prison populations and lowering costs to taxpayers has been justice reinvestment. However, for justice reinvestment to meet its ultimate goal of reducing incarceration rates, saving tax payer dollars, and creating safer communities, the JRI must begin to focus more attention and resources on how to better address the unique needs of the mentally ill in the criminal justice system.
