Abstract:
The present monographic work had as its theme a study about custody hearings and
their repercussions in the prison system. Initially, an analysis was made of the
constitutional principle of the presumption of innocence and its relationship with the
custody audience, the latter as a promoter of the aforementioned principle in
procedural practice. Then, considering that the custody hearing is preceded by the
arrest in flagrante, and could be converted into custody, these two types of arrest were
studied, with their respective assumptions and most relevant points. In order to give
theoretical support to the subject that was intended to be developed, considerations
were made regarding the process of practical implementation of custody hearings in
the Brazilian procedural system. The procedure established by Resolution No. 213 of
the National Council of Justice was studied. Next, the repercussions of the audience
in the Brazilian prison system were analyzed.
