GEOGRAPHICAL CONNECTIONS AND SOCIO-SPATIAL SEGREGATION BY THE USE OF PRISONS IN THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO

Abstract

The expansion of the PauList penitentiary system has increasingly taken place with the use of the territory of municipalities located inside the state, distant from major urban concentrations and regions with greater crime. This characteristic of socio-spatial segregation by the expansion of the penitentiary system stems from state government strategies such as attempts to isolate the carcerary mass in areas with less resistance to the establishment of new prisons. In the meantime, as a result of the new possibilities of the geographical environment, which has ever greater scientific, technical and information densities, new ways of connecting remote locations are emerging, breaking distances. Thus, the use of advanced communication technologies by prisoners implies new meanings of imprisonment, such as the old architecture of isolation of convicted offenders, as geographical scales, and distances, are replaced by geographical connections at this contemporaneity.
