former inmates, networks, labor marketAbstract
This article analyzes how the personal networks former inmates are structured and how these networks, combined with other important factors – such as schooling, previous professional experience, trajectory in prison and stigma – impact the process of entry into of these individuals into the labor market. The data for analysis came from the application of semi-structured interviews and sociometric questionnaires to six prisoners from the Minas Gerais prison system. To analyze the data we use the technique of Social Network Analysis, more specifically, the Analysis of Personal Networks. The analyzes show that (1) the networks of these graduates are formed by predominantly strong ties and that (2) they present a low level of renewal; (3) the fear of prejudice further closes their personal networks; and (4) the first job can have a rejuvenating effect on the graduates' personal networks.
