Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show the main points of the recent change in Brazilian criminal procedural law, through Law No. 13,769, dated December 19, 2018, which establishes the replacement of pretrial detention by house arrest pregnant woman or mother or responsible for children or people with disabilities, as well as the evolution of the institute in question, as well as to critically point out the main positive and negative points inserted by the new legislation. Although the theme of this work is based on the recent change brought about by the new law of house arrest, in order to make this possible it is necessary to make a general overview of prisons, going through the evolution of the institute of house arrest until reaching the key point that is Law 13.769/2018, because without this there would be no support of information necessary to understand the measure in question.
