Maternidade em cárcere: um estudo do ordenamento jurídico acerca das mães reclusas

Abstract

The problems of the Brazilian prison system have worldwide repercussion, given the numerous rights violated in establishments designed to punish those who violate the rules established to maintain social order. With regard to female prison, it is clear that the life of women deprived of liberty in a structurally degrading environment is intensified by the lack of public policies aimed at ensuring support that meets the needs of women, reinforcing, in the penal system, the mechanisms of selectivity and social oppression experienced by women since the origins of living in community. The situation inside women's prisons becomes even more perverse when it involves motherhood. Thus, this research aims to study the legislation on the issue of maternity in prison.The present paper is defined as a descriptive academic research, of bibliographic and documentary nature, which seeks to describe the phenomenon approached using as a technique the research in documents supported, mainly, by the Brazilian legal system, as well as the international ones.
