【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this article is to discuss the formation of groupings of transvestites and transsexuals imprisoned in Ceará, Brazil. Through the use of narratives produced from ethnographic data, I intend to show the different conditions of imprisonment for transgender people – in varied times, spaces and groupings - which are mobilized by discourses concerning the management policy of this population. Hence, I want to discuss state processes that identify, classify and group transvestites and transsexuals as “dangerous,” “less dangerous” or “vulnerable” as a form of management operated by discursive practices in the control and surveillance of this population when in custody.
