LIBERATORI, Marina. What does not kill you make you stronger. Runa [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.1, pp.5-20.  Epub Jan 18, 2023. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v44i1.10422.

This paper proposes to analyze the porousness of the prison as a punishment institution, but at the same time as an experience that make possible to learn how to reverse the violence suffered by three women, -with whom I have been related between 2009 and 2021 during field work for doctoral and post-doctoral researches-, throughout their lives before the prison. Likewise, it focuses on the reflection about how gender crosses the life trajectories and experiences of prison of these three women and how it supposes a double stigmatization. On the one hand, the negative social figuration of prison population and more specifically because to be a woman also puts in tension social, cultural and moral assumptions about the society expects of them.

Keywords : Prison; Women; Violence; Gender; Social trajectories.
