Sistema prisional brasileiro e a questão das privatizações

Abstract

The present work aims to develop a theoretical research about the reality experienced in the Brazilian prison system. Such research seeks to show the different problems that exist in this archaic model of punishment, which still prevails in our penal system. Faced with the growth of crime, the method of imprisoning people in order to re-educate them is not quite virtuous, so that prison has become a means of social isolation of the criminal agent, but re-education has not been one of the objectives of this Disciplinary measure. Thus, the Penal Code itself determines that the penalty has two characteristics, namely: to prevent and to repress, however, repression has been the only mark registered in the current model of penalization of crimes. In this context, new punitive models are sought that work the social, religious and psychological values of inmates, in order to allow reintegration of prisoners into society. However, the approach of the theme seeks not only to portray the reality of the current system, but also promotes new private models, bringing the favorable and unfavorable points. Therefore, the study of the prison system will serve to broaden the focus of interest in the subject, allowing a more advanced theoretical formulation that will detail concepts, models, results and resources that can reverse the growing crime in Brazil.
