Regarding penal policy, I want to highlight the project of rehabilitation of female prisoners in the
Pedro Afonso municipality; it is an initiative that reveals tools that can be used by judges with the
objective of social reintegration, even when the prison structure is unfavorable. In the city, there is a
great prison in which women find themselves in a closed regime, without any space for internal work.
The judge allowed external work for prisoners and also recommended study. It now allows for the
reduction of the penal sentence through work and lecture.
I will finish my intervention by mentioning these positive practices. But, I highlight; these
practices cannot hide or legitimize violations. Such practices must be expanded so that the reality of the
lives of minorities can be closer to the reality of judicial norms.
