A efetividade do princípio da dignidade humana na pena privativa de liberdade no Brasil e suas implicações na pandemia

Abstract

The present scientific article proposed to deepen the effectiveness of the Principle of Human Dignity to the inmate in the execution of the custodial sentence, more specifically, its implications in the pandemic period in Brazil. In this way, the history and emergence of the Brazilian Prison system were analyzed, from the principle of the Dignity of the Human Person, to, finally, analyze the applicability in the pandemic period. It was concluded, therefore, through the bibliographic research method, that the application of the Principle of the Dignity of the Human Person in the custodial sentence in the Brazilian Prison System, taking into account the Pandemic that occurred due to the COVID19 Virus, was not effective in view of the Minimum Rules assigned by the UN to prisoners (Nelson Mandela's Rules) and the Guidelines provided for in the Penal Execution Law. Keywords: freedom. Human dignity. Pandemic.
