A INEFICÁCIA DA RESSOCIALIZAÇÃO PARA CRIMES DE ALTA GRAVIDADE: UM OLHAR CRÍTICO SOBRE O SISTEMA PENAL BRASILEIRO

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the ineffectiveness of the resocialization process for individuals convicted of serious crimes, offering a critical reflection on the practical application of the Brazilian Law on Criminal Execution and the limitations of the national penitentiary system. The research is qualitative in nature, based on bibliographic and documentary review, supported by scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 on platforms such as SciELO and Google Scholar, as well as by current criminal legislation and legal doctrine. It was observed that, despite the normative discourse in favor of social reintegration, the Brazilian prison system remains inefficient in providing the minimum conditions for rehabilitation, especially for those convicted of violent and serious crimes. The main causes of this ineffectiveness include overcrowding, lack of public policies, poor prison infrastructure, and social stigmatization of former inmates. It is concluded that resocialization, although constitutionally guaranteed, remains more theoretical than practical, requiring a deep reform of penal and execution policies in Brazil, under a humanistic, realistic, and interdisciplinary perspective.
