PROJETO RESSOCIALIZADOR CASTELO DE BONECAS À LUZ DOS PRINCÍPIOS DA LEI DE EXECUÇÃO PENAL

Abstract

The present study was developed through bibliographical and pragmatic approaches over the effectiveness of the criminal execution law's principles (Law n° 7.210/84) confronted with the Castelo de Bonecas Resocializing Project's development analysis, that took place inside the Maria Júlia Maranhão's Penitentiary of Feminine Reeducation, in the brazilian state of Paraíba. Therefore, the research began exploring the concept of penalties and imprisonment through its historical evolution, permeating the Foucaultian vision about the transition from Dantesque tortures in the 18th century to adopting the deprivation of liberty as an definitive penalty. In this context, the critical- analytical reasoning is built upon the national legislation, regarding the fulfillment of liberty deprivation, and the minimum conditions based on human's dignity inside the ergastulos, specially the particular condition of the incarcerated woman. That is corroborated by international provisions such as the Mandela Rules and the Bangkok Rules, both dealing with hat must be minimum standards in penitentiaries. Moreover, the research was based on the data provided by the Legal Collective Protection of the Prison System and Human Rights Prosecutor's Office (MP-PB). Furthermore, its development regards the enforcing and establishing of the resocializing principles over the project, aiming at the inmates professionalization through prison work with making sewing and handicraft activities. In addition to penalty remission through work according to the Criminal Execution Law, it offers the opportunity to build up an occupation when reinserted in society, outside the prison walls.
