Abstract

This article describes the importance of gender relations for the construction of women's identity, as well as the constitution of a stigmatized social identity, often formed by prejudice for finding themselves in a contrary position, desired by society, in this case a woman who relapses into prison system. For this, the conceptions of Michelle Perrot (2015), Erving Goffmam (2004), Lombroso & Ferrero (2002), Stuart Hall (2006), among others, were used in the elaboration of this article as a theoretical foundation, in addition to an interview collected from a ex-convict of the Evaristo de Morais penitentiary system in the municipality of Sena Madureira – AC. Therefore, it is understood that the criminal or criminalized woman carries in her identity, marks of a social stigma that becomes difficult to deconstruct, either by her or by society. In this way, the present article intends to demonstrate how much the socio-cultural patterns interfere in the identity and in the life of a woman who already carries in her identity construction marks of violence and difficulties.
