The thesis aims to analyze different "control" instruments that prison authorities are utilizing and other resistance mechanisms of the imprisoned women, in an extremely asymmetric power environment. The theme of this research is defined as Criminal Talavera Bruce Institute TBI, and the choice is justified by the relatively small number of actual research on women's prisons as well as for the fact of the TBI being the Model Prison of Rio de Janeiro. The central hypothesis of the thesis is that the instruments of resistances of the women there imprisoned are the same used by authorities to ensure the control in the Penitentiary. Authorities prioritize the coercion and punishment, within a close relationship with those resistance mechanisms that, in principle, intended to enlarge the qualities of life of these women in prison (perks, entertainment events, work, religion and visits, among others). In this research we have used a wide bibliography, being the hard nucleus of our analytical model a conjunction based on the contributions of Michel Foucault ("Power Networks "), Alessandro Pizzorno ("Interests", "Solidarity Systems and "Arenas of Equalities") and Jessé de Souza ("Primary Habitus and "Precarious Habitus ). In addition to the numerous interviews that were conducted with employees, authorities and detainees, as well as non-restrained conversations with other officers for more than six months, it was also sought to achieve a considerable bibliographical and documentary research on the topic. Imprisoned women use various strategies of resistance, seeking to mitigate the various processes of control authorities are implementing. The most extended of these strategies seek to match those activities developed internally, as closest as possible with those existing in the "free society", whether they are labor, or affective, or market relations, religion, entertainment events, visits, communication, food, among others
