Da ressocialização do preso através do trabalho, à luz da lei de execução penal

Abstract

It analyses crime as a social phenomenon tackling its causes in the exclusion of a society's part due to capitalistic practices. It draws a parallel between individual's life before, during and after prison, trying to show that, despite the great advance in legislation such as Brazil's National Prison Law, many times the individual leaves jail much worse than when he entered it. Based on the constitutional principles and the criminology concepts of the New Social Defense, it tries to point out as the solution to the crime issue, the resocialization of the convict, which would be more fruitful than the hardening of the penal legislation. It studies the rights and the duties of the convict contained in Brazil's National Prison Law analyzing the importance of its proper and effective application, pursuing the resocialization of the convict, specifically by labor.
