Abstract

Sexual violence in prison is often justified by prisoners as the manifes tation of a penalty imposed on other prisoners, which is prescribed by an "internal social rule". At the Florianópolis Public Jail, sexual violence is most commonly practised against newcomers, mainly rapists, parricides, stool pigeons, "tools" and efeminates. Such prisoners hurt the honor (i.e.: the codes of honor) of society. Which is to say, not only the codes of honor of the prisonal universe are touched, but also those of the external community where the prisoners
came from, therefore justifying a more "appropriate" punishment than the one prescribed by the State. This work presents a case study of sexual violence within the Florianópolis Public Jail and its relations with gender theories and conceptions of masculinity and honor.
