“Celas” de aula: a reeducação nas prisões e a importância de um olhar socioeducativo para a oferta de uma liberdade emacipatória

Abstract

This paperwork analyses aspects of the prison system and the education provided to youths and adults in deprivation of liberty. It aims to deal with the importance of developing a socio-educational look at the development of education that takes place in our prisons nowadays. We are going to investigate if the educational process that occurs in our prisons prepares the student in deprivation of liberty with a quality and emancipatory education. The education subject was chosen as an object of study in the prison context, because it is a transforming tool, and it is believed to provoke, if well applied, a reflective thinking. The society and the government should observe whether the resocialization function, associated with educational measures in prisons, has been well implemented. The elaboration of this paper is based on bibliographic studies, which were fundamental to get at the results we got, several authors were used in the research, among which we highlight: Michel Foulcault, Cesare Beccaria, Mirabete, Onofre, Rodrigues, Prado, Pereira and Paro. We could notice that the youth and adults education in prison, has particular aspects that make it different from the regular education that cannot be neglected. The neoliberal influences must be taken into consideration, as it modifies the educational process in prisons. All in all social re-education is all about preparing all the ones involved in the process; teachers and managers have to have continuing education; the government must elaborate policies of maintenance for the studies initiated in social prisons, so that throughout a social-educational look to turn a prison education into a system which not only punish, but rather rebuilds values, emancipates and provides freedom, what has not happened yet.
