A humanização no cumprimento de pena: Desafios e perspectivas na Lei de Execução Penal

Abstract

This article examines the humanization of the execution of sentences, highlighting, in light of the Penal Execution Law (LEP), the challenges and perspectives involved. It explores how the lack of resources, prison conditions, and societal culture impact the application of human dignity and the rehabilitation of offenders. The justification for this study lies in the necessity to re-evaluate the means by which offenders serve their sentences, given the evident need for reform in penitentiary practices in Brazil, as they reflect on society. The sources utilized include academic articles, legal doctrines, and relevant legislation. The employed methodology was qualitative, focusing on literary studies related to the topic and analyzing penal scenarios. The findings indicate that, despite the challenges to be faced, there is a promising outlook if corrective measures are adopted.
