Terceirização dos presídios

Abstract

The Brazilian legal system has extensive and modern legislation focused on criminal enforcement, with provisions aimed at positive results in the fulfillment of imprisonment, making it able to achieve its goals of prevention, punishment and e abilitation of the offender, now enshrined in our country. However, the relevant egal requirements have not been effectively obeyed by the government that, for decades, has managed to disregard the prison system. The increasing reports of harm to the rights of prisoners (overcrowding, violence, lack of adequate food intake, unsanitary conditions of prisons, etc.). and corruption in the administration of prisons, . ed o the need for change in management system. In this context, the o the private sectors in the management of prisons has shown to be -- ery positive, considering the international experiences observed. cornnanies have shown they have capacity to offer the prisoners the ecessary co iíons for them to serve their sentence of imprisonment which are guaranteed by Ia a d the Constitution. In Brazil, the participation of prison administration enterprises has occurred in some states such as Parana and Espirito Santo, with encouraging results. Although this model of co-management of the prison ys em has been applied in some units of the unit of federation, the discussion about . s legality and whether or not the nationwide application is still far from reaching a consensus. However, it is high time to close down the long and fruitless debates and to take practical steps for change, to ensure those who are serving prison the chance of a decent return to life in society.
