Método APAC como modelo alternativo de gestão prisional: ferramenta de ressocialização e recuperação de presos

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the process of historical evolution of the custodial sentence, presenting the diversity of problems that the criminal justice system has been facing. Failures will be demonstrated in structural issues, in the human conditions of convicts in prison, as well as recidivism rates, in order to present alternatives to solve the problem so that the established standard can be effected. To this end, an indepth study will be made on the Association of Assistance to convicts (APAC) as an alternative tool for criminal execution, as opposed to the common system, whose objective is to promote the humanization of prisons, without disregarding the punitive purpose of the penalty, offering the condemned conditions to recover and resocialize social life. Thus, the study will draw a parallel between the current system and the results that the APAC method has offered in the units that have already been installed in Brazil, thus concluding the effectiveness to be adopted as an alternative model. This is a bibliographic research, using the reading of doctrine to analyze and explain the subject addressed. The method of approach will be deductive, starting from general problems to clarify the particular problems, such as the violation of the rights of prisoners. The procedural method will be historical and comparative, analyzing the process of historical evolution of the sentence and promoting the examination of comparative data between the APAC system and the traditional prison system.
