Abstract

The present work intends to comprehend the of women in drug trafficking through the database produced by PIEP (Estevão Pinto Penitenary Complex) by CRISP-UFMG (Public Security and Criminality Study Center) through survey and interviews, in research entitled "Is thug love jail bait?". The methodology is used and quantitative, through the analysis of the frequencies in a way that identify the methods of operation of women incarcerated in drug-dealing networks. It was taken as a theorical reference the studies of Lúcia Lamounier Sena (2015) to think the dinamics of drug-dealing networks and the studies of Manuela Valência and Helena Castro (2018), to think the methods to analyze information about a specific prison and understand the feminine operating in the traffic dynamics. After the data analysis we reached the conclusion that women connect to traffic through her social network by invitation of friends, family members, life partners and neighbors. Besides, the police arrest is determining in the construction of the crime and at the same time that these women are arrested with drugs and money, but in most cases without making use of fire arms, which shows that their actuation is without violence, and more linked to the service of social-economic demands, that practically make these women to connect with a drug-dealing network.
