Além das Grades: Um Olhar Sobre as Oportunidades na Reintegração Social de Ex-Detentos

Abstract

This scientific work aims to investigate the obstacles faced by former inmates when reintegrating into society, when they face some obstacles, such as social stigma, difficulties in finding employment and criminal recidivism. The Brazilian penitentiary system poses daily to the State and society, especially regarding the implementation of public policies aimed at the social reintegration of former inmates. In view of this, the following research problem arises: to what extent has the Brazilian prison system ensured that inmates, while serving their sentences, have access to professional training courses that favor their insertion into formal employment after the end of their incarceration? With a large prison population and precarious situations of inmate reintegration, this has become a topic that requires debate and theoretical deepening. The study aims to analyze effective reintegration targeting public policies and targeted support programs. This work uses the qualitative research method, with a theoretical-bibliographical and documentary approach. Through the analysis of academic works and legal documents, we seek to construct a critical reflection on the challenges of social reintegration of former inmates, with a focus on public policies and initiatives aimed at professional qualification in the context of the Brazilian prison system.
