Abstract:
This monograph aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Right to Health for people deprived of liberty in Brazil. It takes as its starting point the dissertation on how this right was built from the formation of basic fundamental human rights, the signing of international treaties and an analysis of the conjunction of the right to health in the brazilian legal system and in the prison system. With an analysis of whether a public power conduct honored the constitutional responsibilities established to promote health in its universal character and to promote the integral development of the human being.
We use the qualitative and quantitative research method, as a theoretical framework, we use doctrinal teachings, scientific theses and legal documents and, therefore, we reach the conclusion that the government does not honor its obligations to promote respect for the dignity of the citizen-prisoner in its totality and that violations are persistent, only with more state efficiency in the implementation of current legislation that the full efficiency of the right to health would be realized.
