RESSOCIALIZAÇÃO DO SISTEMA CARCERÁRIO: DESAFIOS E PERSPECTIVAS RESTAURATIVA

Abstract

The main objective of the research is to verify resocialization rates in Brazilian penal establishments between the months of August 2023 and June 2024, with the aim of questioning the application of legal provisions. The methodology applied was qualitative and quantitative, using as a basis the Criminal Execution Law, the Federal Constitution and data provided by the National Council of Justice. Scientific articles from platforms such as Google Scholar and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) were analyzed, as well as searches on websites on the global internet. In this context, the application of resocialization in the Brazilian prison system is examined through percentages that compare the number of places offered and the current capacity of each penal unit in some States, with the aim of verifying how these rates can influence the environment in which individuals are deprived of freedom. Thus, given the scarcity of work and study places in prison units, Restorative Justice emerges as a solution that involves not only inmates, but also victims and the community, promoting a broader process of resocialization and active participation of all involved. Restorative Justice is suggested as a resocializing method capable of offering individuals the opportunity to experience a new perspective of the future, overcoming society's punitive and vindictive vision. Thus, working on resocialization in penal establishments means complying with the provisions of the Penal Execution Law and guaranteeing those re-educated a chance of social reintegration at the end of the reprimand.
