Abstract

Based on a research carried out in a municipality located in the extreme west of the state of São Paulo and converted into a prison complex, it was possible to analyze the singularities of the São Paulo prison system through what was configured locally as penitentiary tourism. The objective of the article is to analyze, in the light of Economic Sociology, the effects of mass incarceration from the market perspective. The method consisted in participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The research concludes that the flow of visitors, identified by the native category prisoner’s women, converts not only the local market as already observed by other researches but also their meanings, as Zelizer notes. If the prisoners are located in a separate place, the policy of dispersion of prisons into the state and their respective market dynamics insert their families in a separate place increasing inequalities
