Reconfiguração espacial carcerária na prática educativa laboral de reeducandos no Núcleo Ressocializador da Capital em Maceió Alagoas

Abstract

Studies that observe the prison population have grown in several areas of knowledge, including the geographical field. The proposal of this geographical contribution starts from the understanding of this prison space, its agents and the relationships that involve the spatial practices. This implies that while this space previously conferred only a punitive and disciplinary value, in the present reconfiguring itself spatially and acquiring a new meaning in line with what the global capitalist system expects in terms of appropriation of people’s spaces and times and their labor force. Thus, the objective of this research is to understand how the development of the "Hope Factory Program" in the Alagoas becomes the geographical place of the prison spatial reconfiguration by the labor practice developed through the re-educated agents and their perspective of resocialization. The methodological design is characterized as exploratory-descriptive research developed with qualitative Based on secondary sources and primaries in the search for understanding, education and prison work remain as main variables in spatial reconfiguration, whose antecedent was the field research in the period of graduation. The geographical coverage of the analysis is delimited in practice that operates in greater evidence in the prison unit Núcleo Ressocializador da Capital that is part of the Penitentiary Complex of Maceio and governed exclusively through the Hope Factory Program. The research points to the spatial reconfiguration that occurs through the Program through educational labor practice, considering since the perception of the place, which involves receiving the individual benefit and what it causes in the collective imaginary of the prison population, as a real possibility, once merely punitive, which changes to a space that in everyday practice generates contributions to the resocialization of prisoners. However, it is considered relevant to discuss the discourses about the positive results of casualties in the records of escapes, rebellions and criminal recidivism rates in relation to the national average, because even with these results, the Program only includes a very selective prison population. Thus, the research points out the need to deepen in a broader evaluation of what this model means as an instrument and the possible governmental failures to subsidize the human right to a vocational education in a partial way and that does not include the prison population of the state as a whole and that would not be representative as an indicator of reduction of recidivism of reeducandos in local crime.
