Resumo:
The labor in prisons is a very important instrument that promotes dignity elevation of the
individual to the prisoners and beginners-to-prison of the Brazilian Penitentiary System. As a
way of confirming that piece of information, it was made a research on the Brazilian way of labor
as a social right, also on the Legislation that determines about the prisoners and beginners-toprison‟s rights of the Brazilian Prison System, taking methodological systems of a
bibliographical way, with a deductive methodology the historical one as the procedure method,
comparative and exegetical and legal, the technique of the indirect documentation on the
bibliographical research modality. The chance of having a job in the jail has been denied because
to the difficulties that are found on the most prison establishment of this country, demonstrating
the state neglect about the enforcement of constitutional opinions press for the fulfillment of the
sentence in a less serious way to the citizen who is in prison. These omissions are mainly
characterized on the lack of offer of programs which may include the prisoners and beginners-toprison in work activities and on the lack of regulation of work as a profitable activity to the State
and also to the prisoner. This problematic scenario – the lack of opportunities of learning to a
professional labor and the unemployment inside the prisons – make the beginner-to-prison‟s
adaptation even harder when this individual is benefited with the ultimate freedom harder,
because on the searching for a jog process, this citizen will be easily exempt, and the main reason
for that is his personal data bank has the title “former prisoner” and also because this person is
not able to perform the labor as well as the one who had the opportunity of qualification outside
the prison. Given this context, the Brazilian Justice National Council, right after investigating the
situation of the Prison System, performed a project which aimed to motivate the non-state
companies to offer job offers and train prisoners and beginners-to-prison in hard work conditions,
generating excellent results. The labor in prison is theme of a Project of Law who aims the
regulation following the strands of the Laws of Labor Consolidation, and it is yet in analysis on
the Justice and Constitution Committee of the House of Representatives, that demonstrates that
the concerning with the realization of works in prisons has been an important topic to discussion
in the highest places of Government of this country. It is hope the reflection about this theme
before the Constitutional Right Line, which has as one of its greatest values effecting human
dignity regardless of any social situation
