Abstract

This article aims to provide some reflections about the outreach experiences carried out at a prison in Santa Cruz do Sul. It considers the link between the food served in prisons, knowledges and the labor of inmates who partake in the food production activities at the prison kitchen. Through bibliographic research, it was collected and analysed data about human rights concerning the work, resocialization and food served in prisons. The in-site experiences, mediated by participant observation and field diary, allowed follow-up, cooperation and connection among the processes and their meanings to the individuals involved. From the recognition of popular knowledges and others shown or developed throughout the outreach activities, it is possible to highlight the protagonism of the prisoners who work in the kitchen due to the importance given to their productive ability and their self-awareness about the reality in which they live.
