Análise Das Contribuições Dos Projetos De Leitura Para Ressocialização Dos Educandos Do Sistema Prisional Da Penitenciária Mista Juiz Fontes Ibiapina Em Parnaíba-Pi

Abstract

This paper explores the contribution of reading projects to the resocialization of inmates in the prison system. The institution where the research was conducted is the Mixed Penitentiary Juiz Fontes Ibiapina, located in Parnaíba, Piauí, where reading projects are implemented that contribute to sentence reduction through reading. The development of this research is based on theoretical bibliographic approaches and field experience carried out at the Mixed Penitentiary de Parnaíba, through the extension project “From being to becoming a reader: between the world and the word that sets free”, affiliated with the undergraduate pedagogy program at the Federal University of Delta do Parnaíba, in partnership with the State Department of Justice (SEJUS-PI). The research aims to understand the contributions of reading projects to the educational and resocialization processes of inmates, using fieldwork and scientific journals. It describes and relates these contributions to the resocialization process, aiming to reflect on this practice within the prison education system. The study also addresses sentence reduction through reading and the challenges faced by education professionals in ensuring that each inmate engages with reading. In this way, the paper analyzes the reading projects, which include: Free Reading; From Being to Becoming a Reader: Between the World and the Word that Sets Free; and Imprisoned by Reading, and their implementation within the prison system. The main focus is on their contributions and the challenges faced by educators in carrying them out. It also reflects on how reading projects contribute to the resocialization process, the recovery of inmates’ self-esteem, and the ongoing development of a socially just, active, and emancipatory perspective and practice.
