This work is based on research on public policy making for “specific populations” in prison (especially LGBT people), conducted in different spaces and in the midst of many circulations. Thinking about the movement that has been designed in recent years in academic research, in order to understand the prison through its porosities, I propose to think of them from the crossing of multiple layers of powers, scales, or even as vertical porosities. Specifically in this article, I will focus on making specific policies at the scale of courts, councils, and the federal government. I do this, especially, following the trajectory of several “roles” and of an interlocutor, making a contextualization about how she herself crosses these scales, and then deepening how the bureaucratic routines of such gendered policies take place in these places.
