EGRESSOS DO SISTEMA PRISIONAL: HÁ POSSIBILIDADE DE REINSERÇÃO NO CONVÍVIO SOCIAL PELA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL?

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the challenges and possibilities of resocialization of former prisoners through professional education. It aims to evaluate how the process of humanization and emancipation of this individual occur, regarding social reintegration and the world of work. The subjects participating in this research will be the teachers, coordinator and students from the penitentiary system who take part of the Alvorada Project - Social and Productive Inclusion of People from the Prison System - Initial and Continuing Education Course (FIC) Electrician Installer of Low Voltage in Buildings, offered by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFG). The study becomes important as it seeks to identify the difficulties and perspectives that encompass the social reintegration of former prisoners and, from this premise, to seek means for an effective social transformation in the life of the reeducated individual. Beyond the prison system, reintegration must cross the prison walls, prioritizing professional education as a possibility of social inclusion. Thus, it is essential that educational spaces promote resocialization and prepare these people for the world of work. Therefore, this research presents professional education as a proposal for an integral human formation. In addition, the study analyzes the former prisoner’s context and proposes an educational product. The methodology will consist of a dialectical process between written documents and orality. Therefore, the qualitative approach with the elaboration of a case study will be used, based on the bibliographic research of documental type and oral sources. Procedures, observation, individual semi-structured interviews and questionnaires will be used as data collection. The partial results, based on the documental and bibliographic study, lead to a gap regarding the reintegration of former prisoners from the penitentiary system to society. Thus, vocational education is a possibility for an omnilateral human formation that contemplates work as an educational principle.
