As Associações de Proteção e Assistência aos Condenados (APAC) e as unidades prisionais de Minas Gerais: caminhos para a adoção da metodologia de ressocialização proposta pela APC nas penitenciárias e presídios mineiros

Abstract

This article is an account of professional experience in the Prison System of Minas Gerais. The objective is to understand the limits for the insertion of the APAC methodology in the Prison Units in Minas Gerais, starting from the analysis of the 12 (twelve) fundamental elements that support the APAC, in view of the reality of the Prison Units. The results indicate that although they are part of the same system, State Department of Prison Administration (SEAP), and are guided by the same law, LEP nº 7210 of 1984, the Associations of Protection and Assistance to the Convicted (APAC) and the Prison Units have different finalistic functions: the first one focused on the recovery of persons deprived of their liberty and the second to protect those same persons.
