A presença das mães na vida dos filhos é fundamental e determinante no seu desenvolvimento, porém no contexto do Estabelecimento Prisional, o exercício das competências parentais poderá ser desafiante, complexo e distinto. O presente estudo procurou explorar as perceções que um grupo de mães reclusas, que vivem com os filhos na prisão, têm sobre as suas competências parentais. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, onde foram realizadas 8 entrevistas em profundidade a mães reclusas em permanência com o seu filho no Estabelecimento Prisional. Os resultados demonstram aspetos positivos e negativos da circunstância em que estas mães se encontram. São observáveis as práticas de competências parentais positivas e o constante apoio do Estabelecimento Prisional. Contudo, são retratadas as dificuldades experienciadas pelas mães reclusas, nomeadamente, reconhecimento de sentimentos de culpabilização, sentirem-se julgadas por parte das outras mães reclusas, os problemas de relacionamento entre as crianças, as condições precárias das celas, as dificuldades de aquisição de produtos específicos para as crianças e as perceções de efeitos negativos a curto e a longo prazo, não só para as crianças, mas igualmente para as mães. Todavia, parecem evidenciar também experiências positivas para conseguir ultrapassar a situação adversa que estão a viver.
The presence of mothers in their children's lives is fundamental and decisive in their development, but in the context of the Prison Establishment, the exercise of parental skills can be challenging, complex and different. The present study sought to explore the perceptions that a group of inmate mothers, who live with their children in prison, have about their parenting skills. This is a qualitative study, where 8 in-depth interviews were conducted with inmate mothers staying with their child in the Prison Establishment. The results demonstrate positive and negative aspects of the circumstances in which these mothers find themselves. Positive parenting practices and constant support from the Prison are observable. However, the difficulties experienced by inmate mothers are portrayed, namely, recognition of feelings of guilt, feeling judged by other inmate mothers, relationship problems between children, precarious conditions of cells, difficulties in purchasing specific products for children and perceptions of short-term and long-term negative effects not only for children but also for mothers. However, they also show positive experiences to overcome the adverse situation they are experiencing.
