Crise no sistema penitenciário brasileiro e a (in)eficácia da ressocialização

Abstract

When we think about the Brazilian Prison System, what comes to our mind is chaos, overcrowding, marginalization and, above all, the subhuman conditions that prisoners live in. In this context, this work will address the Crisis in the Brazilian Prison System, the inefficiency of resocializing instruments, together with the Ressocialization Institute, through the Criminal Execution Law, showing the level of recidivism as a preponderant factor of nonresocialization in the prison and the contradiction between the law and its effective application by penal establishments. In the course of the study, from the earliest days of Brazil Colonization, with the emergence of the prisons, some goals were set for the emergency deprivation of the Brazilian Prison System as a means of avoiding more chaotic and violent future episodes. Therefore, it is necessary looking for proposals in order that there is a reformulation and adequacy of the current system.
