EDUCAÇÃO NO SISTEMA PRISIONAL: o caminho para a recuperação dos detentos

Abstract

Education in the prison system aims to break the persistent cycle of violence, this makes the prison move from an environment of exclusion to a socio-educational environment, enabling the emancipation of incarcerated individuals. For education to take place in penal institutions, it

is necessary to review some obstacles that prevent it from actually happening, such as the lack of structure in the environment, scarcity of materials and the lack of adequate training for professionals who work in the area. Therefore, the aim of this article is to discuss education in the prison system as a path to the recovery of prisoners. To this end, the research is based on a bibliographic study with works, documents and legislation on the subject. And from this perspective, the research points out that education in the prison system is an important path in rescuing individuals serving sentences, especially when focused on educational activities that prioritize the Youth and Adult Education curriculum, based on Paulo Freire's proposal. In this sense, it is important to propose comprehensive curricula that prepare inmates for formal education and professionalization after prison, in the search for effective democratic and emancipatory resocialization.
