RICALDI DA ROSA, Lutiana. The prisoners and (in) their social network: a meaningful analysis. Subj. procesos cogn. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.2, pp.208-226. ISSN 1852-7310.

This study aims to analyse the perception of prisoners in their network of social and emotional support in the preparation process for freedom, by mapping microsystems, operation analysis of the network and identification of expectations. This is a qualitative multimethod study based on: focus groups, observations, interviews and document analysis. To understand the social network of prisoners the theoretical frameworks of Systemic Psychology-Human Development Bioecology, Social Psychology and Modern Philosophy were applied. Traits of the person as well as those of the family were identified as risk factors and as protection factors inside and outside the prison environment. The lack of work was considered a risk factor in extramural environment. The community is perceived as a protective factor, both inside and outside the prison environment. The results show that the perception of the imprisoned person regarding his (her) own interaction with the ecological environment directly affects social vulnerability.

Keywords : Imprisoned person; Socio-emotional support network; Systemic psychology.
