Anahtar Kelimeler:Prison; women; disciplinary power; subjectivation

Özet: The prison institution is still interested in the family, if not, what about the organization of mass weddings inside the prison, or the facilitation of visiting permits through the marriage certificate. In this article we will take a Foucauldian-style genealogical approach, analyzing the overlaps, porosities and limits in the relationship between disciplinary power and the bourgeois family since the middle of the seventeenth century. We will see how disciplinary power was extending its grafts, disciplining sovereign formations, in the consolidation of capitalist production in the West, to the point of composing a network of control over the family in exchange for making it a “small intensive cell” responsible for the productive and moral formation of its members. From the instances of the disciplinary continuum, the family will be intervened, up to the limit of kidnapping one of its members to attend to his indiscipline far from the family cell, the latter being co-responsible for the behavioral deviation of its member. We will take the case of prison–the apex of the disciplinary pyramid–and pay special attention to the consequences of imprisonment, specifically to its subjectivizing effects on the female relatives of the inmates, making them the pledge of an ontological debt that transforms their time of life into time of debt, intensifying their productive and reproductive occupation.
