Abstract

 The promulgation of Law no. 13,964 of December 24, 2019, popularly known as the Anti-Crime Package, promoted the amendment of several national laws, especially those relating to the execution of sentences. The change within the Criminal Execution Law itself occurred systematically, completely altering the time period for granting regime progression. The present work aims to analyze the impact that the Anti-Crime Package had on the national justice system, particularly with regard to the regulations contained in the Criminal Execution Law. To this end, each innovation was analyzed point by point, with special focus on regime progression. A brief analysis of the regime progression related to those convicted of heinous crimes could not be avoided, as the Anti-Crime Package directly changed the system of the Heinous Crimes Law. The methodology used was qualitative with the analysis of doctrines, legislation and jurisprudence.
