Uma análise da implementação do método de Associação de Proteção e Assistência ao Condenado (APAC) no sistema prisional cearense

Abstract

The search for improvements in the common prison system has been the scene of debate for a long time. Improvements are constantly promised, but they do not always contemplate the conditions within the prison units, leaving aside the real meaning of the incarcerated period and the quality of the period and the public policies offered to inmates. In a context where the prison does not fulfill its main role, which is resocialization, and often ends up contributing to criminal recidivism, talking about a more humane alternative seems a distant reality, especially in the state of Ceará, where high rates of of violence and the large prison population are an old reality. In this context, this monograph is an analysis of the implementation process of the Association for the Protection and Assistance to the Convicted (APAC) method in the state of Ceará. The research has a qualitative approach, which used the descriptive research method to achieve its main objectives. To carry out the data collection, there was a documental, bibliographic research and a field research - through a semi-structured interview, and from the transcription of the information obtained it was possible to make a more in-depth description of what was seen in the bibliographic research. From the research it was possible to verify that although there are elements that prove the interest of the State in applying the Apaquean methodology in Ceará, there is still great difficulty in finding concrete data that help society to understand more about the process of implementing this policy, the that makes the concrete implementation of the policy a still distant reality.
