Fatores ambientais, personalidade e cárcere: critérios de separação e finalidade ressocializadora na Penitenciária Masculina Baldomero Cavalcanti de Oliveira

Abstract

In view of the current problems with public security, there is also, in congruence, a proportional problem with resocialization. There are countless legal provisions that aim to promote the reintegration of the inmate into society, emphasizing the promotion of the dignity of the prisoner, as well as the provision of fundamental rights intrinsic to him. However, believing in an ideal scenario of resocialization and its success in the face of high rates of recidivism in Brazil, is innocence. It ceases to be innocence and becomes an ideal scenario of resocialization in which the agent's personality traits are considered for the individualization of the sentence. Being aware of the above, the present research aims to analyze how behavioral aspects and personality traits corroborate for the potentialization of criminal behavior and the concomitant invalidation of the resocializing purpose of punishment. The methodology used is bibliographic analysis and data analysis from the prison unit Baldomero Cavalcanti. As the main theoretical framework, there is the McCrae and John theory (1992) with the article on the model of the five great personality traits and their applications, in addition to a quantitative study carried out in Minas Gerais, by Cid. Gonsalves Filho, Stanley Araújo Pena, Gustavo Queiroga Souki and José Ricardo César A. Mello, entitled “crime in Brazil: a public health problem” (2020). As results obtained, it was apprehended that the effectiveness of the sentence in promoting resocialization in the Baldomero Cavalcanti Penitentiary is not successful, considering the recurrence rate in the state in addition to the lack of adequate professionals to carry out criminological exams and monitor the development of the prisoner's moral values. Therefore, it becomes evident that enhancement of criminal behavior through the symbiosis of different criminal potentials and persuasive power in the analyzed penitentiary, which may infer a likely result in other penal establishments with the same conditions.
