O impacto da ausência de políticas públicas no sistema prisional brasileiro

Abstract

This paper aims to expose Brazil's difficulties in providing conditions for the harmonious social integration of convicts, identify challenges within the prison system to ensure inmate rehabilitation, and showcase public policies aimed at alternative sentencing methods. Consequently, it is necessary to outline the elements that have shaped the state's forms of punishment, taking into account historical periods and their varying perspectives on vengeance, as well as to highlight the primary influences adopted by Brazil in its prison system. Following this logical framework, it addresses key inquiries regarding the Brazilian prison system and its challenges, identifying significant gaps in the effectiveness of punishments and their correlation with rising crime rates and prison population, analyzing both relevant regulations and effective alternative means for inmate rehabilitation. Subsequently, a brief analysis of a specific Public Policy on sentence execution is required, examining both the regulatory framework and the operational principles of alternative methods, emphasizing the efficiency in inmate rehabilitation, with a focus on the APAC model – Association for the Protection and Assistance of Convicts – which emphasizes humanization to enhance inmate rehabilitation efficiency. Finally, theories are developed regarding the proposed solutions presented in the paper, supported by key authors on the subject.
