| Summary: | The objective of this text is to analyse the privilege of special imprisonment afforded to those accused of crimes who possess certificates of higher education. It deals with the relation between this privilege and the university certificate established by law. For the purpose of
analysis, the text seeks support in the
existing legislation and in legal
commentators. Based on theories of
reproduction of a culturalist
propensity or, more exactly, on the
theory of symbolic violence, it then
seeks elements capable of explaining
more clearly and making the
significance and purpose of special
imprisonment more intelligible. The
article questions whether the logic of
special imprisonment is not part of the
unequal and hierarchical character of
Brazilian society. The maintenance of
hierarchies safeguards the differences
between classes of individuals and the
necessary distance between them on the
basis of everyone in his/her proper
place. In this case, special
imprisonment is an example of a
segregating function for which the
school system and, in particular,
certificates of higher education, retain the power of persuading each person to
remain in his/her proper place, in the
place for which he/she is fit by nature. |
