Abstract
This paper will address daily dynamics upon leisure as promoted by young foreign male inmates who were under a custodial sentence within a Portuguese prison facility. Under the scope of the Portuguese academic field, the extent to which this research is original will be explained, as far as the study of foreign inmates is concerned. The participants of the sample have demonstrated ability to recreate moments in which traces of their symbolic heritage and sociocultural belongings were reconstituted with contours of the prison environment. A particular aspect – the linguist one – will be underlined, namely through expression of their mother tongue, such as the creole.
