Organização Criminosa Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) no Sistema Prisional Brasileiro: Impactos na Segurança Pública e Desafio Estatal

Abstract

Brazilian prisons, marked by overcrowding and degrading conditions, are a central theme in discussions about public safety, criminology and criminal law. The Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) is an organization that emerged in this context of rights violations and has been affecting the dynamics inside and outside prisons. With this in mind, this study sought to investigate the influence of the PCC on the Brazilian prison system, as well as its implications for public security and the challenges facing the state in confronting this criminal organization.To this end, bibliographical and documentary research was carried out, using legal texts and related case law. The research discussed the origin and evolution of the PCC, its organizational structure and its dynamics within prisons, as well as exploring how its activities expand outside the prison environment, affecting society. In this way, the study contributed to the debate on organized crime by providing an in-depth understanding of the PCC's mechanisms of action, offering subsidies for the formulation of public policies aimed at security and the fight against crime.
