O fundo penitenciário nacional e a superlotação nos presídios do país: um levantamento de problema público a partir da pesquisa de política pública.

Abstract

From the point of view of the study of public policies, there is little research on prison policies and prison system management in Brazil. In the face of the institutional and political crises that the theme has surfaced in the last decades, making a survey of this public policy problem proves to be important as a scientific investigative instrument in the face of several cases of rebellions, escapes, actions of criminal organizations and the process of overcrowding. It has demonstrated the inability of the state to maintain the prison system and has drawn society's attention to its structural weakness. The present work has as main element of discussion the use of the resources of the National Penitentiary Fund - FUNPEN in the construction and reform of prisons, turning to the problem of the overcrowding of the Brazilian prison system. Through a multidisciplinary, exploratory and descriptive approach, the objective is to survey the public problem of prison overcrowding and to ascertain whether the use of resources from the National Penitentiary Fund influences the shortage of vacancies in the prison system in the country, focusing primarily on advancing the countryside. knowledge through the explanation and description of the public problem, approaching a more purposeful technique of policy reseach. Even with the existence of a federal fund of constant and surplus collection, the use of FUNPEN resources to create new vacancies in the prison system through the construction and expansion of prisons proved inexpressive as an alternative to reducing the prison deficit.
