Prisão preventiva, e o princípio constitucional, da duração razoável do processo

Abstract

This is a paper which assesses the idea of the existence of a direct relation between the ruling of preventive detention and the endurance of the restrictions on human freedom. In this sense, the author presents the possibility that the accused persons that have temporarily been under arrest receive compensation from State for material and moral damage, due to the constitutional rules concerning judicial error and trial within a reasonable time span. The debate concerning the issue necessarily includes State liability for jurisdictional acts, albeit lawful.
