Panorama do sistema prisional no Brasil

Abstract

Prison management in the country is a challenge in which its specificities and multidisciplinarities of knowledge in other areas prevail, especially the inherent knowledge of police activities. With this, there is a great impact in the formatting of the flows and routines that do not adequately cover the access to the persons deprived of their liberty of the services, rights and policies foreseen in the criminal enforcement law. With the passage of the years the Brazilian prison system has presented a great wear, arriving at the present day to a precarious point with number of prisoners greater than the available places, for this reason, the system has not been able to reach its goals that is to recover and reintegrate detainees into society. In view of the above, the present work aims to present an overview of how prison systems work in Brazil. From the methodological point of view, the research was developed based on bibliographic review, collection of secondary data in electronic sites such as Ministry of Justice - DEPEN, Brazilian Fraternity of Assistance to the Convicted - FBAC, National Council of Public Prosecution - CNMP, among others. The research has allowed us to infer that although the country has its Criminal Enforcement Law and a master plan directed at the improvements of the prison system, the States of the Federation must overcome the lack of methods and stimulate the specific and strategic developments in the area of prison management.
