Resumo: | The aledged resocializing function of imprisonment tries to give an impression of positivity to
penalties and to strengthen the existence of jails as places of recovery, in spite of reality’s constant
demonstration of the opposite. Prison is considered a hostile environment meant to docile
subjectivity, to implement social control and physical and existential extermination, the belief in
work as an instrument of resocialization being frequent. Penal labor, as a part of the capitalist
context, has presented itself as a way of finding use to those who did not fit this mode of production.
This research investigates the possibilities and impossibilities of prisons to operate as a place of
resocialization using penal labor as a tool for doing so. The study’s object is the Resocialization
Policy of the Penal Administration Secretary (SEAP/PB) through “Trabalho Humaniza” project,
which is a component of the Program “Cidadania é Liberdade”. Therefore, the main purpose of
this dissertation is to analyze SEAP’s Resocialization Policy through labor. The specific goals are:
to describe “Trabalho Humaniza” Project; to apprehend the implicit conceptions of resocialization
and labor within the resocialization policy; to problematize the ways that the resocialization policy
is operated through labor. The theoretical route, which is based on critical criminology, approaches
the hidden functions of prisons, penal selectivity, the processes of criminalizing poverty and mass
imprisonment, finishing with the discussion on resocialization through penal labor. The
methodological route is split in two parts. The first one is the analysis of “Cartilha do Trabalho
Prisional” (Penal Labor Brochure), a document written by Ministério Público and SEAP/PB aiming
to make public the importance of penal labor to the process of resocialization. The second part is
formed by the analysis of the interviews with four of the professionals that conduct the project. The
results show the punitivist bias in which the referred policy is in, as well as the fallacy of
resocialization and the impossibility of jails to promote meaningful, positive changes in the life of those who are benefitted by the project. Furthermore, the actual function of penal labor as a tool
exploitation, control and adjustment of individuals to the capitalist mode of production has been
confirmed. The need of a critical look upon the Criminal Policies as a manner of overcoming the
illusions of resocialization which are sustained by prisons is in order. The study points out to penal
abolitionism as key to building a new ethical, political project to our society. |
