This paper addresses the theme of incarceration. To deal with this topic is to address a sensitive and important subject. Quite delicate, but not so important, for those who should give (but don't give) a proper solution to the problem. It is very important, but not so delicate, for those who experience incarceration in their own skin, after all, delicacy would not find much space in crowded prisons. Understanding that it is necessary to address this issue, we sought to answer the problem: what motivates a convicting criminal sentence? Thus, the work was developed with the general objective of understanding the magistrate's motivation to make a condemnatory criminal sentence. To this end, the specific objectives were established: a) to present how the most recent legal scenario in Brazil is presented to society; and b) analyze the relation magistrate/society from the sociological theory of Pierre Bourdieu. This study was financed in part by the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES, in the portuguese acronym) – Finance Code 001.
