Abstract

The Association for the Protection and Assistance of Inmates – APAC is considered a private civil institution that aims to promote a humane approach within prisons, while still upholding the legally established function of punishment. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the application of the APAC method as an effective solution to the current crisis in the prison system, comparing it with a conventional prison system. The methodology of this work focuses on an integrative review and a deductive approach, utilizing materials such as doctrines, articles, and renowned published works. Regarding the development topics of the work, there was an exploration of the historical aspects of the penal system, discussing the origins of penitentiary systems as well as what the doctrine says about classical and positive schools of thought. Additionally, there was an analysis of penal execution and the APAC method, which highlighted the essential aspects of this mentioned method, as well as its potential contribution as an alternative to the traditional prison system. In conclusion, it was stated that the APAC method is considered an effective solution within the Brazilian legal framework and for the crisis of incarceration, as it not only has lower personnel costs but also shows significantly lower recidivism rates compared to conventional systems. By adhering to legal provisions and safeguarding the rights of individuals in recovery, the penal institution promotes a more efficient and effective rehabilitation process.
