Abstract
In this article we built a short tale with young people deprived of liberty in the Porto Alegre Public Jail, where we sought to bring a provisory composition on the intersection of public policies, criminality and neoliberalism in their life histories. With these narratives, we do not seek irreversible destinations, nor rapid responses, but fragments, discontinuities, the fabric of a political use of language, the de-territorialization of the preconceived meanings of words. Thus, we make use of Walter Benjamin’s narrative concepts as well as of the concept of minor literature by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
