Abstract

This study aims to analyze the experience of education provision in the prison environment, observing the representations of the inmates enrolled in basic education and of the team of educators involved. The aim is also to verify how the state contributes to implement the educational assistance to the penal establishments. It is noticed that these establishments, mostly do not have space and adequate infrastructure for the detainee to serve his sentence, in fact, the harder it is to guarantee the rights that were not constrained by the fact that the person is incarcerated. These factors excessively difficult the rehabilitation process of the penitent, therefore, it is considered that education might be an alternative in the reintegration process. We believe that, through access to educational practices, the detainee can make use of useful knowledge, values and practices disseminated by instructional harvest. Thus, the re-educating has the chance to glimpse a different life from the one that motivated the imprisonment, now as a subject emancipated, enjoying autonomy and responsibility in decision-making and direction of their future. The presented research is a qualitative character and in this context, we conducted a case study, we used the interview techniques, observation and document analysis. The analysis and interpretation of the collected data were compared and related to the theoretical framework that led the effort.
