A efetividade das políticas publicas e das praticas de formação profissional das mulheres presas

Abstract

This research analyzes the effectiveness of policies and practices of professional training of women deprived of liberty, instituted in Minas Gerais, specifically in the prison units of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte. The dissertation contemplates discussions about the historical correlation between the mode of production of material life and punitive forms, public policies of work and education in the prison system, social relations of sex and the sexual division of labor, imprisonment of women, among others. These themes are approached based on the contributions of Karl Marx, theorists of marxist affiliation and researchers of the line “Labor and Education”. A qualitative research was carried out, based on the documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with 14 women deprived of freedom who were carrying out or concluded professional training courses inside the two units investigated. The interviews, the visits to the Complexo Penitenciário Feminino and the Presídio Feminino, as well as the conversations with the professionals, were recorded in a field notebook. The research was guided by the following problem: “What is the effectiveness of the policies and practices instituted in the prison units of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte for the professional training and work of the victims?” And from that, the effects of the courses were demonstrated (sewing and hairdressing) in the educational/professional, social and personal dimensions of women deprived of their liberty, addressing the professionalization process, the intra and extramural relationships and their future expectations. It is hoped that the dissertation will contribute to the debate on the subject, both in relation to the production of knowledge and in the provision of subsidies to the formative processes in the prison system and to the development of sectoral public policies.
