Organizações Criminosas dentro do sistema prisional

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the operation of criminal organizations within the Brazilian prison system and evaluate the impact of these activities on the effectiveness of the judiciary system and on the process of resocialization of prisoners. The study adopts a qualitative methodology, based on a comprehensive literature review, to explore the nature, strategies, and extent of influence of these organizations within prisons. The research reveals that the prison environment, marked by overcrowding and insufficient resources, provides fertile ground for the growth of these organizations, which exploit operational and legal gaps to strengthen their networks and perpetuate criminality. The analysis identifies that the infiltration of criminal organizations in the prison system challenges the integrity and security of the institutions, hindering rehabilitation efforts and contributing to recidivism. The study emphasizes the need for reforms in the prison system and the management of resocialization programs, suggesting the adoption of multidisciplinary strategies involving different sectors of society. The research highlights the importance of strict enforcement of the Penal Execution Law, accompanied by improvements in surveillance practices and the training of prison agents, to prevent illicit activities and break the chain of command of criminal factions. The work concludes that a holistic and ongoing approach, beginning at the moment of detention and extending beyond release, is essential for effective resocialization and for addressing the challenge of criminal organizations in Brazilian prisons.
