Abstract
In this article, we discuss the notion of borders and how affection and trust-based relationships woven into our research trajectories allow us to debate the crossings between prison, gender and our insertions as researchers. The analysis is conducted by our cartographic researches in female and male prison units in the city of Rio de Janeiro. By thinking about gender as an analytical category and also as a constitutive element of daily management and of bodies in the prison context, we discuss the moralities and forces that produce femininity, masculinity and relationships in this context, and address the challenges and possibilities for a feminist cartography in/of prison.
