O monitoramento eletrônico dos Indivíduos privados de liberdade: em busca de alternativas à superlotação carcerária

Abstract

Faced with the chaotic situation of the already overcrowded prison system, where violence and the deprivation of fundamental rights is a reality that is increasingly widespread within Brazilian prisons, the electronic monitoring of individuals deprived of liberty (IPL) emerges as an alternative measure to humanize criminal execution and relieve prisons. With the creation of Laws No. 12,258/2010 and No. 12,403/2011, it was nationally recognized the need to implement effective measures, so that the IPLs would fulfill their sentences, without having to submit to the inhuman conditions of the prisons. Thus, in 2012 the State of Minas Gerais began to adopt a public policy of electronic monitoring, as a more humane alternative to the fulfillment of the sentence with the minimum of dignity, and that thus, they can be reintegrated into society in a less traumatic way. The objective of this work is to describe how was the policy of implementation of the Electronic Monitoring System in the State of Minas Gerais, more precisely in the circumscription of Governador Valadares and to weave an analysis on this process, based, more specifically, the "Provisional Redeployment Center of Governador Valadares I" (CERESP de Governador Valadares I - Ceresp GRV-I). It was possible to conclude that, by using electronic monitoring in the prison system of Minas Gerais, it became necessary to introduce a "more humane" alternative to the execution of the sentence, with the minimum dignity and thus guarding their rights, so that they can be reintegrated into society. The use of electronic monitoring is not justified only by the economic advantage, as well as, in theory, it presents itself as the most effective criminal sanction regarding the purpose of safely complying with the penalty, as a way to ensure that the presence of the State will be felt and respected by this individual, through the incessant surveillance of electronic monitoring.
