Situated in one Feminine House Shelter, destined to women who fulfill penalty in half-open regimen, the research had as general objective the creation of a field of experimentation of prison activity through the implementation of technological resources of digital videography used by the agents workers of penitentiary system. Thus, this thesis intend to analyze the device that was applied to provoke an exam of the situations of work in prison, which was intitled Technical-Poetical Analysis of Activity, in order to collate situations from the work in prison through the use of video camera and computers to edit that images.

To operate a conceptual tension that would open ways for the construction of possibilities for a Clinic of the Work it was necessary to establish a few theoretical sources, such as the analytical tools from the Philosophy of the Difference, from the Ergology and from the Clinic of the Activity, that emphasizes the affirmation of that that differs in the plan of thinking and in the course of the activities of work. The use of theoretical sources it also intends to bring together at the same time the plans of the professional attribute, the institutional trams and the subjectivation. To this extend this writing makes an attempt to search a species of expansion of the power of seeing that, considering the scenes produced for the agents with the use of the camera and a software of edition, give the certification to a process through which the thinking, on the prison activity, was provoked by the proper image device.
