Prender para quê? desvelando a concepção sobre ressocialização no sistema prisional, e a função emancipatória do acesso à educação.

Abstract

The present study seeks to understand the mechanisms and aspects that guarantee access to the right to education and instruction in prisons, as well as to rethink the concept of resocialization currently used as an argument to implement a necropolitical policy of mass incarceration, practiced by the Brazilian State, mainly directed to black, impoverished and peripheralized people. To do so, we specifically designed a study that could describe the profile of the apenados, making a comparative reflection with previous studies; visualize the mechanisms and forms of state organization to guarantee access to education by these individuals, build a profile of the educational actions from the work experience of the Presidio Estadual do Seridó, located in the city of Caicó/RN. Methodologically, it is characterized as a documental study, of qualitative approach, analytical-explanatory, based on the historicaldialectical materialism. As main results it could be evidenced, that in the scope of the reality approached, the profile of the apenados reproduces the affirmations of the studies carried out in the several regions of Brazil, that the access to the education policy is promoted by means of institutional agreements and partnerships, with insertion in all formative levels. That issues such as school drop-outs, mainly in basic education, are present in a percentage close to 20%, from one semester to the next, when comparing the data from the 1st and 2nd semester, a fact which confirms the actuality of the fact in relation to the studies previously carried out. One of the noteworthy data refers to the percentage of remission of sentence related to reading and sports, which is considered positive for the full development of the individuals deprived of liberty. Furthermore, it was possible to conclude that the actions developed in the PES are representative when compared to the national and state scenario, but still insufficient. This sphere of resocialization needs more investments, and strategic planning, to generate more expressive impacts. The possibility remains for future studies to expand the field of vision to the complexity that is expressed in the world of prisons.
