Educação para liberdade: um caminho para ressocialização de mulheres em situação de cárcere

Abstract

The study on Youth and Adult Education within the female prison system constitutes a scarcely explored field in the analyses conducted in undergraduate courses in various areas of Higher Education institutions in Brazil. This gap also reflects the reality of incarcerated women in the state of Paraíba. The present research relies on documents and oral reports from professors who work with women in prison. During the analysis, the methodology of Oral History was used as an important resource for expanding information, reflections, and interpretations of Youth and Adult Education practices in the prison system. The work relied on the accounts of a professor of the prison system of the state of Paraíba, aiming to bring out the individuality of her experiences within prison education. The research engages with the works and concepts of Paulo Freire, Michelle Perrot, Mary Del Priori, Michel Foucault, and Erwing Golfmam. This work reflects on the education of Young and Adult Women within the prison system and its role in rehabilitating women who experience the deprivation of liberty, as well as the challenges within the field of education.
