RESSOCIALIZAÇÃO DOS APENADOS, AFETADA PELA SUPERLOTAÇÃO

Abstract

The prison system presents several visible problems. Despite the problems present in the prison system, the State is not effective, generating high expenses with little impact on the system. The re-socialization of inmates is mandatory, or should, however, many factors end up preventing re-socialization, one of these problems and perhaps the biggest is the case of overcrowding.A prison that is above the allowed number of inmates causes health problems, fights, sometimes psychological problems and an increase in rebellions for not being able to withstand that tight environment.The increase in inconvenience to society becomes high when inmates serve their sentence in precarious conditions, sometimes worse than when they enter the prison system.The resocialization of detainees is one of the biggest reasons for an inmate to return to society after serving his sentence, with the overcrowding and lack of resolution of this problem, not only harms resocialization, causing inmates to leave worse than when they entered, but it also causes problems for society due to the increase in violence or the recurrence of a crime, as well as, of course, illnesses and rebellions that increase even more with time thanks to the lack of space and care in the prison system.
