Abstract

The Brazilian penitentiary system has become a factor of a great social problem, which can be demonstrated by the bankruptcy of a penitentiary structure overcome, since its overcrowding of the prison system, to the point must be rethinking new alternatives. Prison through deprivation of liberty, is now noticeable that they have not been efficient, in compliance with their respective objectives. Moreover, it can be said that practically nothing positive is seen to be added to the inmates, and in fact it affronts, and in some ways assists in the destruction of the human character, from the exposure of individuals to subhuman and degrading conditions. It is evident that the State, by itself, from the economic point of view, does not have the conditions to solve these problems accumulated several decades ago. However, presentations of new alternatives have appeared, such as the question of privatizations, given the inefficiency of the State in having resources for investment in prison management, in order to promote the necessary changes to transform this scenario. However, this question is beyond the simple imprisonment, but also of living and social conditions to which the Brazilian citizens are exposed, as well as the complexity of the human being. In order to understand the reasons of the current situation of the Brazilian prison system, more specifically the miner, in relation to prison overcrowding. In this way, it is sought to identify the possible preponderant factors that influence the growth of the number of prisoners, in order to be able to present proposals for public policies that contribute to the current situation. By means of reports made available by the public agencies involved with the precaution of individuals in Brazil, as well as the current legislation and public policies in the present.
