Mulheres encarceradas: Uma análise do sistema prisional feminino no Brasil

Abstract

The theme of women incarcerated in the female prison system in Brazil aims to understand their reality in the Brazilian prison system. The method adopted involved analysis of articles and interviews with inmates, resulting in significant insights. The results revealed a diverse profile of women in prison, with a predominance of cases related to non-violent crimes and a context of social vulnerability. Analysis of prison conditions highlighted significant challenges, such as overcrowding, lack of adequate medical care and difficulties in maintaining family ties. Within this context, the conclusions point to the urgent need for more effective public policies, which consider the particularities of the female gender and promote the social reintegration of inmates. Furthermore, the importance of implementing measures aimed at preventing recidivism and combating gender inequalities that permeate the prison system is highlighted. This study highlights the complexity and gaps that exist in the Brazilian female prison system, drawing attention to the urgency of actions that guarantee the dignity and rights of incarcerated women, contributing to a fairer and more inclusive society.
