Implicações históricas e sociais do processo de encarceramento de presos provisórios no brasil: Uma revisão da literatura.

Abstract

This dissertation addresses the historical and social implications of the incarceration of pretrial detainees in Brazil, emphasizing the importance of a literature review on the subject. The Brazilian penal system faces significant challenges, and pretrial detainees, who await trial or the resolution of their legal proceedings, constitute a significant portion of the incarcerated population. The study aims to analyze how the incarceration of pretrial detainees has evolved over time, as well as the reasons and impacts of this phenomenon on Brazilian society. It begins with a historical context of the prison system in Brazil, highlighting the evolution of incarceration policies and the role played by pretrial detainees over the decades. The research also addresses the social issues surrounding the incarceration of pretrial detainees, including socio-economic inequalities, human rights violations, and the consequences for the families of detainees. The literature review provides a critical analysis of previous studies and research that explored the implications of incarcerating pretrial detainees in Brazil, offering a comprehensive view of the issues at stake. Furthermore, recommendations and proposals are presented to improve the prison system and reduce the negative impacts of this process. In the current context of debates on criminal justice system reforms and mass incarceration, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the historical and social implications of incarcerating pretrial detainees in Brazil, offering important insights for future public policies and practices aimed at promoting justice and equity in the Brazilian penal system.
