En revenant sur les conditions d'une enquête par observation prolongée et par entretiens dans deux prisons françaises, cet article questionne la spécificité des enjeux épistémologiques et méthodologiques en milieu carcéral. Il interroge ce que la réalisation d'un travail de terrain sous contrôle fait à la démarche d'enquête et à la délimitation de l'objet. Cet article défend la pertinence d'une approche réflexive en terrain « difficile » qui, au-delà de la seule question des tensions et des dilemmes interpersonnels dans lesquels le ou la chercheuse est prise, prête attention au contexte institutionnel et sécuritaire susceptible d'interférer sur la démarche d'enquête. Cette approche sera discutée à travers trois étapes de la recherche. Il s'agit d'une part de revenir sur les conditions d'accès aux établissement pénitentiaires. L'article montre que l'existence d'une procédure centralisée dans la délivrance des autorisations tend à démultiplier les points de négociation et, par conséquent, fragilise les possibilités d'anticiper les points de blocage. La deuxième étape a trait aux difficultés de positionnement dans un milieu où les suspicions sont importantes. La prison est un terrain où les clivages sont forts mais présente néanmoins des spécificités qui peuvent nous aiguiller sur les manières de surmonter les obstacles en terrain sensible. Enfin, l'article met en évidence la manière dont un terrain sous contrôle peut partiellement réorienter la démarche de recherche, par des formes d'auto-restriction et par le fait d'intégrer à son objet des dimensions imprévues.

Le placement pénal des mineur·es conduit à une situation particulière d'empêchement du rôle maternel. Il engage les mères devant les institutions sociojudiciaires et les conduit à réorganiser leur rythme de vie en l'absence de leur enfant. À partir d'entretiens conduits auprès de mères dont l'enfant a fait l'objet d'une mesure de placement, cet article interroge ce que l'éloignement sous la contrainte pénale fait à ces femmes. Il met en évidence les attentes contradictoires que le travail éducatif fait peser sur elles. Ni juges ni protectrices, elles doivent faire face aux injonctions institutionnelles sans mettre en péril la relation avec leur enfant. Elles doivent également procéder à un travail de réorganisation du lien parental et de la vie familiale. Retrouver une vie familiale plus apaisée, mais aussi du temps et de l'énergie pour les autres enfants, s'accompagne de difficultés nouvelles, notamment lorsque l'éloignement judiciaire dure ou se répète. Il s'agit ainsi de comprendre comment les pratiques et les rythmes de vie de ces familles, aux conditions de vie fragiles, se recomposent sous l'effet de la contrainte pénale.

Abstract: This thesis deals with the practices of assigning detainees inside short-term prisons. Our findings are based on an ethnographic survey in men's prisons. We examine the ways in which order is produced through observing prison warders' practices – ways in which prisoners are classified, categorized, assigned and monitored. The analysis takes also into account the observed practices from the inmates' perspective. By combining the study of the modes of identifying inmates with how the detention sectors are organized, this study wants to show that space management also shapes individual "careers" within the institution.To this end, it analyses the ways in which the prison order is produced in relation to its external environment, and in particular the prisoners' territories of origin.Three approaches are put to the test: one focuses on the study of the arrivals' quarters; another one revolves around the assignment practices as they are implemented and perceived; the third one eventually looks at the implementation of prison intelligence. These entry points make it possible to grasp the way in which prison practices and categories filter, i.e. select, information on the external environment of the institution but also on the trajectory of prisoners. The reconfiguration of surveillance practices in the light of contemporary reforms of penal confinement will therefore be examined from this perspective. The material used in this study is the result of a nine-month ethnographic survey in two short-term prisons in different French regions. It combines the observation of professional practices in detention and the role of professionals in assignment commissions. It is also based on semi-directive interviews conducted with detainees, supervisory and management staff. ; Résumé : Cette thèse porte sur les pratiques d'affectation des détenus à l'intérieur des maisons d'arrêt.

Seit einigen Jahren wächst in der Gewaltforschung das Interesse an raumtheoretischen Analysen. Anhand qualitativer Fallstudien gehen die Beiträge dieses Bandes der Frage nach, wie Gewaltdynamiken soziale Räume prägen oder verändern und wie umgekehrt soziale Räume Gewaltdynamiken beeinflussen.
