A mistanásia das pessoas transexuais dentro do sistema carcerário brasileiro

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to discuss the numerous violations of fundamental rights suffered by the transsexual community within the Brazilian prison system and its correlation with mythanasia. It is also extremely important to bring to light the structural precarious conditions, prejudices/ignorance arising from prison administrations and other inmates, in addition to the discrimination of society as a whole. Through the bibliographical review of scientific articles, legislation, human rights treaties and doctrine, we seek to list the main causes of mythanasia in this social group. Another essential point is to denounce the lack of interest of governments in collecting data on the subject where the number of transsexual individuals under State custody is not even known, making it difficult to map violence and deaths as well as their relationship with miserable death .
