ARAUJO, Telmo Renato da Silva. Immigration, criminality and correctional institution: The case of Portuguese minors in the Paraense Amazon (1880-1925). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2023, vol.39, e87517.  Epub Nov 14, 2023. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1984-0411.87517.

The study aims to analyze the immigration process of Portuguese people to the capital of Pará in view of Portuguese minors involved with criminality. Seeks to bring a localized and temporal reflection of the micro-social reality of these minors regarding nationality, work activity and criminal typology. The methodological path chosen is based on documental analysis using sources such as the crime records, the Guilty Roll and the Minors’ Register Book collected in the Santo Antonio do Prata Correctional Institution, covering the period from 1880-1925. The article seeks not only to circumscribe the social-criminal reality of these minors, but also to put on display the correctional mechanisms in which they were subjected when they were inserted in the Santo Antonio do Prata Correctional Colony.

Keywords : Immigration; Criminality; Portuguese; Amazon; Minors.
