SUMMARY:

Grounded in a phenomenological hermeneutic approach, this research explores the experience of youths serving a Socio-educational Measure (MSE) of internment in the metropolitan region of Natal/RN, Brazil. Stemming from the researcher's professional practice, the study focuses on the meaning of existence for these adolescents. The work contextualizes the history of Brazilian socio-educational legislation, from the 19th-century hygienist movement that targeted the low-income and Black population after the abolition of slavery, to the transition from the Doctrine of the Irregular Situation to the Doctrine of Integral Protection, which recognized children as subjects of rights. The central objective is to understand how these youths root themselves in the world and attribute meaning to their experiences of violence and risk of death. The method is based on Martin Heidegger's philosophy and involved narrative interviews with three youths aged 16-17. Testimonies were recorded in an affective diary to ensure confidentiality, and data analysis followed a hermeneutic approach to interpret the meanings attributed by the participants to their experiences.
