SUMMARY:

Incarcerated people go through different processes of oppression, which culminate in the marginalization and invisibility of their demands, especially those related to mental health. By adding the gender focus to this discussion, a greater vulnerability is perceived among women deprived of liberty, who suffer from the weakening of their affective bonds due to imprisonment, and often have their demands unattended. Considering this scenario, the present study was developed with the general objective of understanding the effects of the weakening of affective bonds on the mental health of women in situations of deprivation of liberty. These were the specific objectives: investigate how the experience of incarceration is constructed in the narratives of incarcerated women; examine what role the affective bonds built with their children and/or partners play in the subjective experience of these women; to analyze, in discursive formations, how these components are engendered in the mental health of incarcerated women. For the construction of this dissertation, a bibliographic review of academic productions on the subject was carried out and subsequent analysis, which resulted in an academic article; then, another academic article was produced, outlining the historical course of prisons, their social function and the political and economic articulations of their use as a mechanism for maintaining power. Finally, the data analysis section explains the results and the methodology of the research. Six women deprived of liberty participated in this study, whose discursive material was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed in the light of Pecheuxtian Discourse Analysis. The analysis categories led to some conclusions: the weakening of affective bonds represents a source of anguish and psychic suffering; health changes appears mainly in the form of symptoms and chronic complaints; the recurrent use of medication was the most used alternative to deal with psychic suffering; the experience in prison is permeated by constant distrust and fear, which coexist with the formation of a support network between the incarcerated women. Seeking an intervention aimed at reducing mental health suffering in the spaces of the prison system, an intervention product was built, in the form of an orientation booklet for the health services of the penitentiary system. In this booklet, there are informations brought by the women about the aspects of living in prison, and the survival strategies developed by them in this context.
