Direitos humanos, cárcere e tortura: uma análise crítica da atuação da força-tarefa de intervenção penitenciária após o massacre no presídio de Altamira em 2019

Abstract

This study presents a critical analysis of the performance of the PenitentiaryIntervention Task Force (FTIP) following the massacre at the Altamira prison in 2019. The objective is to assess the extent to which the FTIP's intervention in the state's prisons, following the Altamira incident, was effective in ensuring proper management of the penitentiary system in Pará. The article examines the prison system in Pará, provides an overview of the Altamira massacre in 2019, and analyzes a report from a commission that visited the prisons. The deductive method is employed, with a qualitative theoretical and empirical study approach. The research technique involves bibliographical and documentary analysis. In summary, it is concluded that the Brazilian state is inefficient in the management of the penal system, resulting in a lack of inmate reintegration into society. Society needs to demand effective measures for social reintegration and the expansion of decriminalization measures to reduce the prison population. Furthermore, it was observed that the Penitentiary Intervention Task Force in Pará was ineffective and violated constitutional guarantees. The arrival of the task force reinforced harmful stereotypes, and the victims of the Altamira massacre did not receive justice due to the conduct of the government.
