Nós também estamos aqui: uma análise da política de reintegração social para pessoas LGBTQIAPN+ da Paraíba

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a critical analysis of the existing mechanisms for implementing social reintegration policies for LGBTQIAPN+ individuals within the prison system of the state of Paraíba, Brazil. Using a qualitative approach, it examines key institutional changes in prison security policies and their practical application in the Paraíba context. The research also explores the role of the Social Office, an initiative established by the National Council of Justice, as a mediating tool between formerly incarcerated individuals and public service networks. Its importance is highlighted not only as a space for reception and referral but also as a mechanism for monitoring both the shortcomings and potential of reintegration policies. The study underscores the need for intersectoral actions and the inclusion of gender and diversity perspectives within institutional practices to ensure the effective protection of the rights of this vulnerable population.
