This dissertation analyses the activities carried out by the Pastoral Carcerária (Prison Pastoral) at Pires do Rio since its foundation in 27th February 1997, giving particular emphasis to the outcomes of the reflections and actions undertaken by the Pastoral. This analysis demonstrates that violence is placed in all communities and societies and that, often, it is even legitimated by and deep-rooted in the religious phenomenon. Currently, the determinant causes of criminality are inbuilt in structural and social problems, but despite that there remain ideological subterfuges exempting the State, the system and the society itself. Looking at the results or the mentioned anomies that burden the convicts and the ex-convicts, it is possible to perceive that the genesis of this problematic is predominantly social. Inside this context, the religious phenomenon can become either an element of rescue and transformation of the convict him/herself, or a mere aid work aiming at corroborating the social order and current structures. The performance of Pires do Rio s Prison Pastoral became an inquiring element in this dominant paradigm encouraging a new attitude of society towards convicts and evicts.Through its work, the Prison Pastoral questions the prison system which is bankrupted; points out to solutions and agglutinate transforming actions. In this perspective, the prisoners supported by the Pastoral feel themselves agents of transformation of this reality retrieving their self-esteem, their citizenship, being and feeling no longer the segregated, the leftover of society. And that allows them to socially interact, turning them into protagonists of their own history.
