Medidas de flexibilização da pena de prisão e reinserção social de reclusos no Estabelecimento Prisional Regional de Silves
| Resumo: | News from the media about prisoners, who re-offend while on home leave from prison, are frequent. Flexible sentences have come about as a measure to contribute to the reinsertion of prisoners into their community while also alleviating the absence of freedom. If home leave serves to help with the social re-integration of prisoners, and this concept of social re-integration has the objective of making individuals not reoffend, of their own free will, then it should have an effect on the reduction of re-offences. Within a period of five consecutive years, in a prison in the south of the country, in Silves, 74 home leaves were granted to 56 prisoners, 29 of whom were first offenders and 27 were re-offenders. Eight of these were imprisoned in various penal establishments on January 2, 2007. The judicial and penal situation as well as the characteristics of each individual were analysed, and interviews were carried out on the prisoners in the system, in order to try understand, through their statements, what the uses are of home leave. We concluded that home leave combats the damaging consequences of incarceration, promoting the social skills of the prisoners, but does not result in the decrease of re-offending, because home leave is mostly used for leisure and not for outlining future life plans. |
