REFLEXOS DA LUTA ANTIMANICOMIAL NO SISTEMA PENITENCIÁRIO FEDERAL

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the ef ects of the anti-asylum movement on the inmates of Brazilian federal penitentiaries. The objective of this work is to outline the basic concept of the Federal Penitentiary System, drawing a parallel with the main achievements of the anti-asylum movement in relation to the so-called "criminally insane" and thus analyze the adequacy of federal penitentiaries in meeting the needs of these individuals. The methodology adopted is based on a bibliographic and documentary analysis, through the examination of national and international regulations, reports, and publications related to the topic, including the Penal Information Report from SENAPPEN. The results emphasize an incongruity in the execution of security measures within the Federal Penitentiary System in light of the nationally adopted Anti-Asylum Policy.
