Aprisionar para ressocializar?: breves reflexões sobre a reincidência na Penitenciária Feminina Ana Maria do Couto May – MT

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyze common cases of criminal recidivism, in front of the proposal of the state, which imprisons and keeps in custody the offending women, with a view to their resocialization. To reach this goal, the study studies the social conditions in which they were inserted when the infraction was committed, among other factors. The study points to the ineffectiveness of the state in trying to curb the use of narcotics, rather than reinserting the individual into society. Accordingly, it indicates means for providing a more effective form of resocialization. It shows the abandonment of both the family and the society as a whole, indicating how human rights behave in a given situation. It also demonstrates the role of prison labor as a measure of resocialization, and its effectiveness against recidivism. The work has a qualitative and quantitative character, due to the combination of bibliographical research, through authors and studies on the subject, and documentary, through the investigation of reports, among other documents used by the institution.
