Summary: This study has for thematic the adolescence in conflict with the law, specifically a study of adolescents receiving by socio-educational internment. Anchored on the theories of sociology of absences, which aims to guarantee that the nonexistent is actually built out of existence; the theory of public invisibility that means the social visibility as a condition of the affirmation of human nature; and the theory of resilience that conceives the overcoming the adversities of life as the end product of a process of interaction between the subject and protection mechanisms available to it, this multiple case study aims to analyze how possible resilience processes experienced by adolescents receiving by socio-educational internment do or do not interfere processes of re-social-educational system, from the experience of three adolescents in recividism and three teenagers who went through the UNIS and don`t commit another crime. The main results of this survey indicate that socio-educational internment is shown as a risk rather than protection of the adolescent, that because all respondents to the significance of the experience was just suffering. What differentiates, perversely, the paths of adolescents who re-offend or not the fragile protection mechanisms outside the state. In this sense, the role of the family during and after the socio-educational internment, religion and the technical defense that was available to adolescents in the judicial process. It was possible, therefore, that all adolescents interviewed demonstrated the will to overcome adversity, however, only those who are not reoccur protection mechanisms that could support such a decision.
