Abstract
This descriptive article aims to analyze the effects of restricting the right to vote for people deprived of their liberty, already socially excluded and stigmatized due to their condition, in denying the individual’s exercise of citizenship, resulting in an increase in crime. In the first chapter, through the hypothetical-deductive methodology, based on a systematic bibliographical review of primary and secondary sources, the paper gathers and analyzes the literature and existing legislation about political rights of prisoners in the Brazilian context and their restriction hypotheses. In the following topic, in addition to the aforementioned methodology, data were presented on the scenario of the Brazilian prison system, using quantitative empirical research, with secondary sources, to elucidate the scenario of mass incarceration and outline hypotheses, as well as statements about the logic of the punitive system and the growth of criminal factions. Finally, in the last chapter, through the hypothetical-deductive methodology of bibliographic review, the need for state action was highlighted, using public policies, to comply with the dictates contained in the 1988 Federal Constitution, expanding the citizenship of prisoners through voting, promoting social inclusion.
