PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN THE BRAZILIAN PENITENTIARY SYSTEM

Abstract

In search of improvements in state functions, it is possible to enter into partnerships with private entities in certain situations. In this sense, because it is routinely identified as flawed, the national penitentiary system stands out among the sectors of state action where improvement is urgently needed.  The high rate of recidivism, as well as constant rebellions, escapes and overcrowding in prisons, lead to an increase in crime, in contrast to the objectives of penalization in Brazil, which includes not only the repression of anti-legal conduct, but essentially the prevention of new crimes through recovery of the convict, resocialized at the end of his sentence.  Precisely because there are concrete cases of public-private partnerships in some national prison establishments, the discussion arises about the implementation of these partnerships by all state entities, in order to delegate the management of these establishments to individuals in search of greater effectiveness in the specific area of pity. The resolution of the proposed problem and the fulfillment of the general objective of analyzing the forecast for the implementation of a public-private partnership in the Brazilian prison system is carried out through this bibliographical research, based on national doctrine and legislation.
