Saída temporária: aspectos controversos sobre a criminalidade e a ressocialização

Abstract

This study examined the implications of recent legislation restricting temporary leave for inmates, analyzing its impact on resocialization and public safety. Through a systematic literature review, scientific articles addressing resocialization, temporary leave, and the prison system were analyzed. Research findings highlight the crucial role of temporary leave in the resocialization process. By allowing contact with the outside world, this measure fosters stronger family ties, develops social and professional skills, and reduces recidivism. Restricting temporary leave, by limiting inmate contact with society, significantly undermines the resocialization process. This measure violates constitutional principles such as the right to family and human dignity, and overburdens the prison system. The study concludes that resocialization is a complex process requiring measures to promote the social reintegration of ex-offenders. Temporary leave is an effective tool for achieving this goal, contributing to a more just and secure society. It is recommended that the legislation be revised to expand the criteria for granting temporary leave and ensure that all inmates have access to this important benefit.
