Pandemia e prisão: desencarceramento e atualização punitiva (2020-2021)

Abstract

The present dissertation has as its object the meanings that the practice of extrication expressed in the state field of conflict management during the Covid-19 pandemic and in response to the Unconstitutional State of Things in prisons. The objective is to understand if, in a scenario of health crisis, high rates of contagion and deaths from the coronavirus, the strategies adopted by rural actors tended to favor extrication as a practice of promoting the right to health and life, or if there was a strengthening of punitive and anti-human rights narratives. To this end, interviews, secondary data collection and analysis of documents prepared on pandemic and prison were carried out. The research findings, in general, express that there is a resurgence of punitive, authoritarian practices that violate the rights and guarantees of people deprived of their liberty.
