Abstract
This article aims to comprehend sexuality’s role in the punitive agencies through the analysis of cases extracted from criminal procedures of people identified as LGBT from the Complexo do Curado (PE). The procedures converge in narratives in which the justice system utilizes or legitimizes the usage of sexual practices as dispositives of punishment and constitutes state prescriptions that inscribe sexuality in delinquency.
