Abstract

This article deals with a study about the efficacy of reading literature classics as a complementary educational activity in the discharge process. It is an attempt to construct public policies aimed at the re-education of the distressed student, escaping from the social imaginary dominated by punitive and repressive thinking regarding crime and violence. The practice of reading in criminal facilities deserves greater diffusion and application in the process of remission of the sentence, since it presents the maximum plausibility for an effective reeducation of the prisoner and its consequent social inclusion. We live in a world with a view to sustainability, where peace, justice, freedom, dignity, fraternity are in the process of achieving its highest level of effectiveness. It is no longer possible to perpetuate a criminal policy that has long demonstrated its inefficiency. It is through the practice of reading in criminal facilities, more specifically the reading of classics of the universal and Brazilian literature, that it is intended to defend a humanizing public policy, in opposition to the merely criminal policies that are still applied in the XXI century. The methodology used was qualitative, using the method of historical-comparative-sociological procedure and bibliographic research.

Highlights

  • The social crisis experienced today in Brazil, of which crime and violence are inseparable, is due to the crisis of the repressive model applied in criminal and penitentiary public policies today

  • Mauro Malin (2018) asserts that the abuse of repression is undemocratic, weakens authority and fuels corruption. This is the thinking contained in this study: criminal and penitentiary public policies still need to be more distanced from the ideas propagated by the Criminal Law of the Enemy, who only sees the individual as the center that causes all the evils of society

  • This article is organized in four chapters, in addition to our introduction and final considerations: the first presents reports on Brazilian thinking about crime; the second expresses the Brazilian penitentiary system as a deposit of human people deprived of dignified conditions for the fulfillment of the sentence; the third discusses the inclusive aspect of the Criminal Enforcement Act; and the fourth, defends the presence of the inclusive aspect as the basic principle of our criminal and penitentiary public policies

SUMMARY

This article deals with a study about the efficacy of reading literature classics as a complementary educational activity in the discharge process. It is no longer possible to perpetuate a criminal policy that has long demonstrated its inefficiency It is through the practice of reading in criminal facilities, the reading of classics of the universal and Brazilian literature, that it is intended to defend a humanizing public policy, in opposition to the merely criminal policies that are still applied in the XXI century. A prática da leitura em estabelecimentos penais merece maior difusão e aplicação no processo de remição da pena, uma vez que se apresenta de máxima plausibilidade para uma efetiva reeducação do preso e sua consequente inclusão social. É pela prática da leitura nos estabelecimentos penais, mais especificamente da leitura de clássicos da literatura universal e brasileira, que se pretende defender uma política pública humanizadora, em oposição às políticas meramente criminais que se costumam ainda aplicar em pleno século XXI.
