This text aims at interpreting situations observed in field research carried out on an innovative public facility regarding organization of justice and security services. It is a survey about implementation and workings of Integrated Citizenship Centers, known as CIC - a government program developed in São Paulo (Brazil) in order to improve access to justice and citizenship rights as well as the safety of populations of neighborhoods located in the outskirts. The program was based on the view that democratization of Brazilian society is closely related to the adoption of different functions and features by Judiciary organs: instead of being agents of criminal repression in the outskirts, justice operators, based on the CICs would become agents of citizenship rights in spaces of more social exclusion. For the analysis, Foucaultian thought was elected as the analytical reference, to which the issue of corporification - the cultural and political production of bodies - is crucial. The question posed is to which degree the performance of the program's operators points out possibility of resistance, introduces ruptures in the permanent differentiation between bodies, which mark classical legal activity, opens possibilities for the emergence of a new corporification of justice's public agents, thus reducing inequality between operators and common citizens (so as to contribute to the construction of a citizenship based on legal equality and democracy). We try to reveal the subtle mechanisms through which State action creates effects of power validation of one class over others.
