A Defensoria Pública como instituição permanente e garantidora do acesso à justiça: dificuldades e caminhos para efetivar a assistência jurídica aos apenados do regime fechado do complexo prisional de Aparecida de Goiânia

Abstract

This legal monograph dealt with access to justice as a fundamental right of the Democratic State of Law, whose main objectives are equality, social justice and the dignity of the human person. The perspective of what access to justice is and how to guarantee it has evolved over time. Therefore, one of the ways to enable people in situations of vulnerability and low sufficiency to have this right guaranteed is through an autonomous and permanent institution, namely, the Public Defender's Office. One of the main groups that need full and free legal, judicial and extrajudicial assistance is the inmates who are serving sentences in a closed regime. Thus, through bibliographic and documental research and data collection, the main difficulties and possible ways to provide legal assistance to inmates serving prison terms in the Aparecida de Goiânia prison complex were analyzed. Having as results the number of inmates serving sentences in the referred complex, how many public defenders work in the Specialized Criminal Execution Center and the number of cases that are processed in the 1st Criminal Execution Court of Goiânia. Coming to the conclusion that the Public Defender of the State of Goiás still needs a greater apparatus of human resources and is constantly present in the Prison Units, in order to provide full legal assistance, without overloading and not compromising the efficiency of legal guidance and the defense of the inmates' rights.
