OLIVEIRA, Valéria Cristina de; OLIVEIRA, Victor Neiva e y RIBEIRO, Ludmila Mendonça Lopes. A Reversal of Order? When the Public Safety Professional Is the Inmate. Estud. sociol [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.116, pp.561-597. Epub 06-Sep-2021. ISSN 2448-6442. https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2021v39n116.1912.
Recent years have seen an increase in the number of public safety professionals admitted to prison not to guard, but to serve their sentences. This paper analyzes the inmates with this profile, who were imprisoned in Pavilion 12 of the Nelson Hungría Penitentiary Complex, in Minas Gerais, in 2016. Our results indicate that most prisoners come from the Military Police or the Penitentiary System and that they have been detained for homicide, a type of behavior that is valued by the group. Prison dynamics are marked by previous occupational prestige, which structures hierarchical relationships and appoints authorities skilled in conflict management. It is, therefore, an environment that seeks to reproduce the world outside prisons, symbolically reversing the reversal of order, which turns the public safety professional into a prisoner.
