Throughout the twentieth century legal references have become a great hope of seeing the world change, transforming formal and daily relations in penal execution courts. Michel Foucault's analysis on the biopolitical strategies contribute to understanding the judicialization of life in the context of neoliberalism, having the law as a regulatory mechanism of social relations, affirming the penal logic, proper of the States' Rights. In Brazil, with the democratization process post-1964 military dictatorship, tutelary councils are created to dejudicialize the practices of rights' guarantee, becoming the school one of its privileged intervention field. Nevertheless, we follow the intensification of the punitive logic instrumentalized by the systematic and collective vigilance and judgment, as well as by the demand for punishment. We all become judges, since we believe in punishment. Put into analysis the potency of penal logic is a way of problematizing the judicialization in every-day work.
