O papel do psicólogo na ressocialização de apenados no Brasil.

Abstract

This is an exploratory literature review that aims to address the historicity of the penal system and how the practice of torture was present and still is to this day within prison units, exposing the inhumanity with which prisoners are treated, which hurts their dignity and goes against their rights. Furthermore, it also deals with respect for the stigma that these people face and how society limits the possibilities of reintegration of these individuals through judging and describing the possibility of change for these individuals, denying opportunities to do so. In this way, this work seeks to treat resocialization as a social responsibility as well, not just that of the individual. It is essential that there is multidisciplinary work to assist in the subject's re-education, but there are also other aspects that influence the success of this work, such as the support network and projects that allow the subject the opportunity to have autonomy in order to avoid recurrence. Penal alternatives are an important tool to achieve this objective, and the psychologist is an important agent in this process, and will accompany the individual, the family, the multidisciplinary team, in addition to working on projects that ensure that this subject has their rights respected and that he be reinstated having all the necessary resources to not return to the practice of crime. Keywords: Resocialization. Prison system, Stigmatization, Penal alternatives, Legal psychology.
