Sujeitos na loucura em conflito com a lei: vivências egressas das medidas de segurança no estado do Pará

Abstract

The security measure is the penal sanction of individuals considered insane who committed crimes. This work results from the ethnographic follow-up in the state of Pará of subjects with mental disorders who have graduated from the local forensic hospital, that is, those who have already fulfilled their security measures and, recently graduated, are in a transitional care facility called the Therapeutic Republic of Passthrough (RTP). Thinking from the mostly black figures in the statistics of the prison population in Brazil, this work uses as a dialogue critical references that I designate as black thoughts. Faced with new questions and provocations in the course of this research, I propose to return to some stories and questions to studies and political strategies for attention and freedom of people who have graduated from security measures throughout this research with an anthropological approach, having as an interface the debates on mental health and racism.
