Complexo prisional do Estado de Goiás e o município de Aparecida como "Baixada Fluminense em terras de Goiás"

Abstract

This research has as general objective to reflect on stigma impregnated in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia that welcomed the State Prison Complex as well as the methods and practices of resocialization applied in the inside the said Complex, located in Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás, in order to understand its effects on society. To gather the information that supported the reflections relevant to the theme, a time frame was made from the early 1960s to early 2020. This story is told through the eyes of the researcher, lawyer, woman, mother, teacher and volunteer in some social projects inside the Prison Complex and a human being endowed with empathy, who cares about the suffering of those who have their rights curtailed in some way. The results are presented through four chapters. The first presents the historical context of the Goiás Prison Complex, its Units, architecture and forms of management. The second turns to the stigmatized City, its social representations and resignification. The third chapter presents some narratives, memories and prison stories. And the fourth chapter presents the possibilities of resocialization under the prism of Human Rights. During the study, it is possible to see how Aparecida can be compared to the Baixada Fluminense, insofar as in both realities the State's disregard for the human rights of inmates has been observed. The guarantee of these rights transcends ethics and laws, becoming a mechanism that contributes to breaking stigmas.
