Abstract

This article intends to present a cognitive dimension of the Penitentiary Matter, shaped by rational, scientific and technical efforts which articulate and confront the political, institutional and practical realities of the prison. Assuming that there are epistemological obstacles when facing punitive and prison paradoxes, the text questions such obstacles on three different aspects: the social-cultural permanency; the waste of experiences and the organizational complexity. Resulted from a theoretical-reflexive research in the field of Sociology of the Prisons, the study emphasizes the epistemological and methodological aspects, expecting to contribute, mainly, in the Human, Social and Applied Social Sciences, with the search and consolidation of powerful cognitive tools before complex realities, such as the Penitentiary Matter.
