A privatização no sistema penitenciário brasileiro: uma análise das origens e da viabilidade jurídica das parcerias público-privadas.

Abstract

The prison system in Brazil is crowded with problems. There is a shortage of resources that violate not only the legal order, but also the constitutional one. It is not possible to believe in the re-socialization of the convict when so many rights and fundamental guarantees are being violated. Overcrowding, although one of the most worrying problems, is not the only factor: food, safety, work, education, social reintegration projects, for example, are unsatisfactory. The Brazilian jail presents a chaotic scenario and it is difficult to predict any improvement. However, from the joinder between the State and the private initiative arises the proposal of privatization of prisons, so a joint joint management is stablished with the objective of regularize the problems long found within the prison system. The re-socializing aspect of the penalty is unquestionable and to accomplish its objective it is necessary for the convict to experience the necessary conditions. This study aims to present in a critical and informed manner the way the public-private partnership works on the prison system through the analysis of concrete processes, doctrinal studies, statistics and other methods.
