Abstract
Individuals who infringe laws, considerate mentally ill and declared legally unpunished are, in some cases, recluse in specific institutions. To define this condition of unpunished individual it is necessary that is make a psychiatric verdict which may also define his pathology and his perilous ness degree. This way, the relation between psychiatric discourse and judiciary discourse in association with determined institutional practices lead to individual and social deterioration of these people and this process produces an institutional chronification. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of these discourses and their institutional and social functionality. The psychiatric verdicts are of recluse individuals in Psychiatric Treatment Area in Colméia Prison of Brasilia and constitute the main information of which this analysis bases on.
