Além das grades: uma análise sobre alguns impactos da prisão na família da pessoa presa

Abstract

Despite the existence of the constitutional principle of the transcendence of penalties, a notable disparity between legal theory and the practice of the Brazilian penal system is evident. This investigation delves into the effects of imprisonment on the family of the detained person, focusing on identifying individuals impacted by the deprivation of liberty and exploring the repercussions of incarceration both within the prison system and beyond its walls. The approach encompasses the origin of imprisonment, the objectives commonly associated with punishment, as well as the effects on the children of those imprisoned and on their partners and spouses, including sensitive aspects such as strip searches, visits, and other related topics. With the purpose of documenting the challenges faced by the family unit of the person imprisoned, this work employed the methodology of bibliographic research, based on texts and articles from legal and criminological doctrine. The critical analysis of these sources seeks to shed light on the investigation of the effects of imprisonment on the family unit, highlighting the complexities of this dynamic and emphasizing the gaps between the theoretical legal framework and its effective application in the Brazilian penal system.
