Educação carcerária: o ensino como meio de ressocialização.

Abstract

The purpose of this endeavor is to contemplate the role of education within a distinctive milieu: the correctional facility. Education stands as an entitlement enshrined in law for all, encompassing individuals deprived of their liberty. The primary aim of the penal institution is the reintegration of the incarcerated, thereby facilitating their (re)assimilation into civil society. Constituting an indispensable facet of the reintegration process, education is proffered as a conduit for the acquisition of practical knowledge and competencies that can expedite the reintegration into the broader society. Thus, this monographic undertaking aspires to scrutinize the manner in which education intercedes in the process of rehabilitating female detainees. It endeavors to achieve specific objectives, which encompass comprehending how penitentiary educational components align with the rehabilitation paradigm, scrutinizing the perspectives of incarcerated females concerning educational matters, and discerning how educators and penitentiary authorities engage with this salient issue. The theoretical foundation of this work draws from the scholarship of notable figures such as Foucault (1979), Onofre (2007), Sandra Almeida (2017), Julião (2007), Teixeira (2007), alongside other scholarly luminaries. It is characterized as an empirical study conducted with a qualitative methodological approach, involving the administration of three questionnaires to six incarcerated students, two educators from the Women's Correctional Facility in Cajazeiras – PB, and one individual responsible for the administration of the aforementioned institution. Post-analysis, it has become conspicuous that penitentiary education is indispensable. Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon society at large to embrace and extend acceptance to those who have exited incarceration harboring aspirations of reintegration
