The present work aimed to conduct an instrumental case study to understand how the strategies used to integrate the prisons into the external territorial networks of drug trafficking conditioned the territoriality relations of a certain neighborhood of Ananindeua - PA. Using the hermeneutic and dialectical method, as well as case study techniques, documentary research and thematic cartography, the analysis of the case called operation paradigm was verified to verify the proposed objective. As a result, it was found that the use of the strategies in question directly influenced the territoriality relations in the scale of the study from different perspectives, confirming and denying some constant propositions of the theory, as well as adding data not previously mentioned in studies on the theme.
