A intervenção do assistente social na reincidência criminal no sistema prisional do estado do Tocantins

Abstract

This Final Graduation Project focuses on the debate regarding the work of social workers in the prison system of the State of Tocantins, in order to identify whether this work has an impact on reducing criminal recidivism. For this discussion, we will address the definition of recidivism, its factors, and the prison system, as well as the role of the social worker and the relationship between criminal recidivism and public security policies. This discussion highlights the rights of incarcerated individuals, their conditions of confinement, emphasizing some reasons why recidivism occurs, as well as the profile of inmates in Brazil, as part of the bibliographic research. As part of the field research, the prison units of the State of Tocantins are presented, along with some resocialization projects and the critical debate about the professional role of social workers in this socio-occupational space.
