Este trabalho objetiva apresentar o ensaio fotográfico das paredes do antigo presídio Desembargador Luiz de Oliveira Souza, em Arapiraca, Alagoas, Brasil. Trata-se de um produto do projeto de extensão intitulado "Itinerários, mostras de vidas", cujo objetivo é debater a realidade social sob a ótica do diálogo entre diferentes formas de expressão. Após desativação, o prédio foi doado à Universidade Federal de Alagoas (Ufal), sendo incorporado ao campus Arapiraca. Assim, surgiu a necessidade de manter um registro post factum do que um dia foi lugar de cumprimentos de penas. Trata-se de um ensaio capaz de revelar o cotidiano dos indivíduos que lá estiveram. Sob as lentes da câmera, as imagens contam-nos uma história.(AU)

This article presents a photographic essay of the walls of the former prison Desembargador Luiz de Oliveira Souza in Arapiraca, Alagoas, Brazil. It is one of the products of the extension project " Itinerários, mostras de vidas " (Itineraries, an exhibition of lives), whose aim is to debate social reality through the lens of dialogue between different forms of expression. After the prison was closed, the building was donated to the Federal University of Alagoas and incorporated into the Arapiraca campus. The need then arose to make a post factum record of what was once a place where sentences were served. The article comprises an essay capable of revealing the daily life of the individuals who were there. The images depict a story told through the lens of a camera.(AU)
