O atendimento realizado pelo juizado da cadeia pública de Porto Alegre, dirigido aos familiares dos presos

Abstract

The objective of the present research was to identify "Good Practices" in the care given by the Judge of the Public Chain of Porto Alegre, addressed to the relatives of prisoners, as well as to reveal the capacity to confront or appease the prison situation in the light of the categories of regulation and emancipation. For that, interviews were conducted with a semi-structured script with 21 relatives of prisoners, 6 servers of the court, 1 magistrate and 1 director of the chain, involved in the service. The presentation of the theoretical reference explained through the socio-political-economic dimensions the penitentiary issue under the bias of criminal execution, provided for in the Law on Criminal Executions and the contradictions existing in the prison context. Through the survey of ordinances, judicial decisions, laws, photographic collection, list of attended, graphs, tables and pictures, the scenario of the prison unit was investigated. In this investigative process 8 categories of analysis were created: Judiciary Power; The attendance; Results of care; Conflict in prison; Relatives in the prisoner's life; The State through social and penitentiary policies; The family; and, the prisoner. In the chapter for the conclusions, the main analyzes of this research were presented, which consisted mainly of the consequences of the State's gaps, caused by the absence or insufficiency of policies for the prison population, in addition to the problems of the prison system. A set of critical reflections was presented based on the results of the research, considering the theoretical framework, the verbal productions of the interviewees and the field observations. And, from a utopian critical perspective, with a humanistic bias, the objective was to identify the potential of care in relation to the demands of family members and to confront the penitentiary issue, presenting the need for practices aimed at harm reduction as a form of resistance to actions that violate the rights and human dignity of prisoners and relatives, aiming at the future aspirations of the extinction of prison in society.
