Redes de sociabilidade: ocupações licitas e egressos da prisão

Abstract

This research came from the thought-provoking feeling about which are the sociability network that allows the egress from the prison system, benefited by conditional release, to get licit occupation after leaving the prison. And what kind of licit occupations are gotten by these egresses. Thus, it aims to analyze the sociability network accessed by those who were in the prison system, having as objective to put in practice the Art. 132, § 1º from the LEP that is “to get licit occupation”, within a reasonable time if they are able to work. It is about a qualitative and quantitative research, which the approach of the theme were made, through bibliographical and documental research, having as objective to contextualization of the prison system and Brazilian prisons with some aspects and the execution of the prison sentence and conditional release. It also presents a profile of people who are deprived from freedom in Brazil, in Paraná in Ponta Grossa/PR. The approach with the reality of egresses of the prison system was effective through field research, with the accomplishment of a semi-structured interview, with egresses benefited by The conditional release in the justice department of Ponta Grossa, from September 2015 to September 2016. Systematising data allowed to identify some empiric cathegories: drugs; religion; prejudice/discrimination/electronic anklet; occupations obtained; and sociability networks that granted access to such occupations. The analysis of empiric data showed that licit occupations obtained by interviewed egresses were made through their centralized sociability network, mainly, family, extended family, friends/acquaintances, companies and church. Thus, because the State does not offer the necessary support to obtaining licit occupation, sociability networks centered in Family, friendships, companies and church are the ones who make possible obtaining licit occupations, as the Penal Execution Law demands. Thus, due to the absence of the State in supporting the necessary means to obtain licit occupation, the net sociability of the graduates in the prison system are centered in families, friendships, companies and church that make them able to get the licit occupation demanded by the Law of the Penal Execution.
