Post incarceration experiences : listening to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal ex-prisonersDrake, Deborah Helen 03 July 2007
This research investigates and documents the nature of the challenges faced by men upon their release from federal incarceration in the Province of Saskatchewan. Due to the high number of Aboriginal peoples incarcerated in Saskatchewan, this research necessarily investigates the differences between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal ex-prisoners. A qualitative approach is employed in order to understand post-incarceration from the perspectives of those who have experienced what it is like to return to the community after prison and those who work with men making this transition. This thesis fastidiously describes parole board hearings, the difficulties related to integrating into society as perceived by ex-prisoners, and the role of the service providers and agencies in Saskatoon that assist former inmates. It is shown that there are certain difficulties common among ex-prisoners, such as finding employment and housing and accessing appropriate support resources. The particular difficulties of Aboriginal ex-prisoners are highlighted, revealing that the difficulties experienced by all ex-prisoners appear to be amplified for Aboriginal ex-prisoners. Racism and the overall disadvantaged position of Aboriginal peoples in Canada are identified as significant barriers to Aboriginal ex-prisoners attempting to integrate into the community.

Previous issue date: 2012-11-20 / The striking phenomenon of growing urban violence and the expansion of the prison while a privileged mode of punishment in contemporary societies have increasingly attracted the attention of researchers for the description and analysis of the processes that take place in prison and from it. This research is part of in this field, having a concern to question a binomial normative of the prison policy, whereby the experience in prisons opposes the paths to "reintegration" and "criminal recidivism." Discussing these concepts and opposing to them, the research points to the need to understand the social dynamics that make up the life of prison former inmates, intersecting them with the practices of the prison administration and with the flow and the increasingly more frequent links between the inside and the outside of prisons. Thus, I seek to understand the social processes that mark the paths of former inmates of São Paulo s prison system, subject little explored in the Brazilian literature and whose approach dialogues with recent studies on the social dynamics which have an effect on the lives in prison. It also dialogues with studies that are not focused on the prison, but whose themes this institution presents itself, whether as a differentiation marker of individuals, whether as a dissemination beam of social relations linked to the world of crime. The study takes place around the description of the trajectory of Diego s life, former inmate of São Paulo s prison system, and his interaction, at different times, with the research author. Therefore, São Paulo s prison system own dynamics are described and unofficial processes of shared management of prisons are emphasized between the state administration and the different groups of prisoners currently existing. In this sharing, the education inmate monitor stands out, highlighted position occupied by Diego. / O fenômeno cada vez mais marcante da violência urbana e a expansão da prisão enquanto modo privilegiado de punição nas sociedades contemporâneas têm despertado cada vez mais a atenção de pesquisadores para a descrição e análise dos processos que se desenrolam na prisão e a partir dela. Esta pesquisa se insere neste campo, tendo como preocupação questionar um binômio normativo da política penitenciária, segundo o qual a vivência nas prisões opõe os caminhos da reintegração social e da reincidência criminal . Discutindo estes conceitos e contrapondo-se a eles, a pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de compreender as dinâmicas sociais que perfazem as trajetórias dos egressos prisionais, interseccionado-as com as práticas da administração penitenciária e com o fluxo e os vínculos cada vez mais frequentes entre os lados de dentro e de fora das prisões. Assim, busco compreender os processos sociais que marcam as trajetórias de egressos do sistema prisional paulista, assunto pouco explorado na literatura brasileira e cuja abordagem dialoga com estudos recentes sobre as dinâmicas sociais que marcam as vidas nas prisões. Dialoga também com estudos que não têm como foco a prisão, mas em cujas temáticas esta instituição se apresenta, seja enquanto marcador de diferenciação dos indivíduos, seja enquanto feixe de disseminação de relações sociais ligadas ao mundo do crime. O estudo se desenrola em torno da descrição da trajetória de Diego, egresso do sistema prisional paulista, e de sua interação, em diferentes momentos, com o autor da pesquisa. Para tanto, são descritas dinâmicas próprias do sistema prisional paulista e enfatizados processos extra-oficiais de compartilhamento da gestão das prisões entre a administração estatal e os diferentes coletivos de presos atualmente existentes. Nesta partilha, sobressai o monitor preso de educação, posição ocupada com destaque por Diego.
