ENTRE O DISCURSO PUNITIVISTA E A REALIDADE CARCERÁRIA: A SUPERLOTAÇÃO E AS DENÚNCIAS DE TORTURA NO SISTEMA PENITENCIÁRIO DO ESTADO DE GOIÁS

Abstract

This research was motivated by the significant increase in prison overcrowding and repeated reports of torture, factors that cast doubt on the effectiveness of penal execution as an instrument of resocialization and guarantee of fundamental rights. The objective is to analyze the poor conditions of prison units in the State of Goiás, in comparison with the Penal Execution Law, International Human Rights Treaties, and the Mandela Rules. The methodology adopted was qualitative and quantitative, explanatory, conducted through bibliographic references and documentary analysis, in the city of Goiânia. The results pointed to a significant difference between what is legally foreseen and what occurs in practice, highlighting a shortage of spaces, precarious material conditions of custody, insufficient state assistance, and evidence of institutional violence incompatible with the principle of human dignity.
