Resumo:
The inviability of the privatization of prisons in the Brazilian legal system is designed to
demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the prison's public administration by the private initiative.
The reality of failure that prisons on the world presents, it makes to rise new ways to find a
solution and, in some countries, the privatization is that solution. The intention was to resolve
the numerous problems that exist in these prisons such as overcrowding, poor hygiene, bad
infrastructures, bad nutrition for the prisoners, riots, escapes, torture and mistreatment, corruption,
disrespect of the prisoners' rights, drug traffic, arms smuggling, among others.
however, this model was not successful, it reverses the image that many people have made
that the privatization would be the way to solve many problems in the failure Brazilian prison
system, demonstrating the failures that are common in both the systems: the prison system
administrated by the state and the Brazilian experience of privatization.
