Brazilians in Dialogue Between the University and the Prison

Are you interested in exploring a unique perspective on crime and punishment?

Karina Biondi's groundbreaking book is the result of an extension project at the State University of Maranhao, Brazil. It offers training for individuals inside and outside the prison system to produce and systematize their knowledge about prison life. Aligned with the principles of Criminology of Convicts, this book emphasizes that those who have lived the prison experience are best positioned to analyze and discuss it.

Through a series of insightful chapters, readers are invited to delve into the rich reflections and analyses developed during these training sessions. This book not only contributes significantly to the fields of Carceral studies, Social Sciences, Law, Education, Criminology, and Latin American Studies but also underscores the importance of investing in the intellectual growth of those who have firsthand prison experience.

This book is ideal for scholars, educators, and practitioners involved in Convict Criminology, as well as for prisoners and individuals working in prison education. Its unique approach provides invaluable insights and fosters a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding crime and punishment.
