Privatização do sistema prisional brasileiro: novas perpesctivas

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the Brazilian prison system that already shows several signs of bankruptcy and reached an unbearable level, due to the fact that already existing prisons fail to re-educate the convicts and prepare them for life in society, therefore becoming true crime schools. The situation reached that point mostly because of mistakes the State is insisting in perpetuate over the years; The purpose of this work is to show and discuss viable alternatives to managing that issue, detailing the use of Public Private Partnerships ( PPP ) in the administration of the prisons system, adding the effectiveness and efficiency of private enterprise. The concept of imprisonment and sentence will be featured, as well as demonstrated how PPPs and privatization of existing models in Brazil and abroad works. The provisions of the criminal enforcement law that addresses the rights of prisoners will also be considered in order to demonstrate the flaws in state-run system, which in administering prisons, mistakenly commits many crimes against inmates. After reviewing some Brazilian experiences, we intend to demonstrate that the privatization of the prison system done correctly can bring a new impetus to the prison crisis in which we currently live
