RIGHT TO PROFESSIONALIZATION IN THE PRISON SYSTEM

PUBLIC POLICIES AND PROMOTION OF SOCIAL REINTEGRATION

Abstract

The article deals with the theme of the fundamental social right to professionalization in the Brazilian prison system, delimiting itself by the study of public prison policies. The research problem is how the right to professionalization can enhance a public policy of social reintegration, based on a critical perspective. The hypothesis is that the right to professionalization contributes to social reintegration. The objective is, in general, to critically analyze prison policies for access to professionalization, as a way of promoting social reintegration. The existence of a fundamental social right to professionalization is adopted as a premise, initially demonstrating its independence and autonomy. The study enters into the reality of the prison system and highlights the existing public policies in the prison area, from the critical concept of social reintegration. The existing prison policies and their consequences for professionalization and social reintegration are then analyzed. The hypothetical-deductive method is used, making a bibliographic review, with historical analysis, in addition to the study of national legislation and quantitative research based on information extracted from official databases
