Research ID 48W3U

Abstract

This article aims at discussing the relationship between the deficiency of professionalizing activities in the prison system of the state of Pará and the multidimensional violence suffered by its former prisoners. The objective is to analyze how the work management in prisons can be a negative factor to the structural violence perpetrated against inmates and ex-convicts. In order to do so, the article examines the question of the right/duty to work in the Brazilian prison system; besides, it explores the National Surveys of Prison Information carried out between July and December 2021; and, finally, it investigates data of the structural violence towards ex-prisoners of Pará, caused by, among other factors, the deficiency of professionalizing activities in prison. The research uses the deductive method with a documental and bibliographic analysis, and a qualitative approach to these themes.
