Casa Reflorecer: Centro de Apoio à Ex-detentas

Abstract

This work analyzes the inefficiency of the social reintegration of former female prisoners in Brazil, highlighting the structural problems that affect both the period of incarceration and the reintegration process. The Brazilian penal system faces serious issues, including unhealthy and precarious conditions that undermine the rehabilitative function of prisons and contribute to high rates of recidivism. The study addresses the specific challenges faced by women after release, such as the lack of adequate infrastructure and support, as well as family abandonment, which significantly hinder their return to society. In response to this context, the project proposes the creation of a support center for formerly incarcerated women, designed with an architecture focused on care, belonging, and dignity, essential elements for building environments that truly support effective reintegration into society.
