Remição da pena pelo estudo e pela leitura: uma reflexão acerca dos seus benefícios durante a execução da pena privativa de liberdade

Abstract

The Criminal Execution Law, governed by the Law 7,210 / 1984, seeks to guide the execution of sentences and enable the social integration of the convicted person. Therefore, it is supported by principles that aim to ensure the correct application of the imposed penalty. In addition, the Criminal Execution Law provides for the rights of the sentenced person, in order to guarantee their physical and moral integrity, the duties imposed, as well as the benefits that may be granted during execution. Owing to the increase of prison population and the crisis in penitentiary system, it is sought to verify whether remission of the sentence through study and reading enables resocialization or if it is only a mean of shortening the time for the execution of custodial sentence. To carry out the research, it was used the inductive approach method and the historical and monographic method procedure, allied to the bibliographic research, documentary and intensive direct observation (interview) techniques. This work was divided into two parts. The first explores the rules in criminal enforcement, its objectives, its applicable principles, as well as the rights, duties and the benefits that could be granted during the execution. The second part intends to analyse the aim of remission through study and reading, and deliberate on its correlation with resocialization. It was concluded that education, through the remission of the sentence is a way to perform the goals of criminal execution and it allows the condemned person resocialization and social reintegration.
