    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the social ecology of the principal detention center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the start of the country's First Republic. The center's manuscript entry logs, annual ministerial reports, and administrative correspondence are cited to show the institution's dramatic gap between the structure of the nation's legal code and its real-life judicial practice. Discussion is offered analyzing the experiences of detainees in the city jail, highlighting how the informal social order of the society was enacted.
