THE CRIMINALIZATION OF ESCAPE

Abstract

The Criminalization of Escape is an indispensable study for those who seek to understand in a deep and critical way the complexities of the Brazilian Prison System. This e-book presents a thorough analysis of a sensitive but often overlooked topic: prison escapes. Through well-structured chapters, the reader is led to a broad and reasoned reflection, based on real scenarios and current legislation.

In Chapter I – What is already provided for in our legislation?, we explore the legal provisions surrounding the act of fleeing in Brazil. Is our legislation prepared to deal efficiently with this reality? What gaps still need to be filled? This chapter presents the legal bases and debates surrounding the criminalization of escape and its consequences.

In Chapter II – What is the role of the prison officer?, we delve into the essential role played by these professionals, who often operate in adverse conditions and under extreme pressure. What is the extent of their responsibilities and how can they contribute to the prevention of escapes? This chapter is a tribute to the hard and indispensable work of these public servants.

Finally, Chapter III – Escapes from the State Prison of Lajeado takes us to the real context of the prison system in Rio Grande do Sul, presenting a detailed case study. From the analysis of events that occurred in the Lajeado State Prison, the challenges faced by the authorities and the implications for public security and society in general stand out.

With a critical approach, robust data and practical reflections, The Criminalization of Escape is an essential work for scholars, public security professionals, prison system managers and all those interested in promoting structural changes in favor of a safer and fairer society. This book is not just an analysis, but a call to action to reevaluate our policies and practices in the search for effective and humanized solutions.
