Remição de penas pelo trabalho: o cerceamento do direito do sentenciado em consequência da falta de estruturação das penitenciárias brasileiras

Abstract

The re-socialization of the sentenced person is one of the functions of the sentence and one of the main purposes of the criminal execution, in order to avoid his recidivism to crime and the return to the prison system. By carrying out the work during the sentence, the sentenced person has the possibility to learn a new job, to qualify, to be remunerated and to redeem his sentence. The Criminal Enforcement Law brings rights and duties in order to ensure that the reinsertion of the detainee in society is given the best possible, however, these guarantees provided by law are not always guaranteed to the prisoners. The omission of the State in many cases results in the non-resocialization of the victim. The objective of the present study is to emphasize the importance of a debate with all the actors involved in the criminal execution on the restructuring of the Brazilian penitentiary system so that effective actions are taken to reverse this chaotic situation.
