description | The article discusses the initiatives taken in the prison system in São Paulo in order to curb the activities of organized groups of prisoners, especially the PCC. The predominance of short-term administrative measures – usually in response to an event of great public impact – reflects the absence of comprehensive planning and action in this sector. We discuss two administrative measures designed to dismantle criminal groups: the dispersion of prisons within the state and the creation of units with different security and discipline regimes – for regular regimes as well as for the RDD. Besides the lack of public policies, the strengthening of administrative actions shall protect the sovereignty of the prison administration decisions on classificatory and punitive issues, which prevents the execution of criminal judiciary authority. The main consequence of this perverse state of affairs is the absolute ineffectiveness of prison administration in the weakening of criminal gangs. |

O artigo discute as ações implementadas no sistema carcerário, em São Paulo, com vistas a coibir a atuação dos grupos organizados de presos, especialmente, o PCC. O predomínio de medidas administrativas de curtíssimo prazo – geralmente, como resposta a um evento de grande repercussão pública – reflete a ausência de planejamento de ações mais abrangentes neste setor. Discutiremos duas medidas administrativas destinadas a desarticular as facções criminosas: a dispersão das unidades prisionais pelo interior do Estado e a criação de unidades com regime de segurança e disciplina diferenciados – tanto dos regimes comuns como do RDD. Além da ausência de políticas públicas, a priorização de ações administrativas resguarda a soberania da administração prisional sobre as decisões de caráter classificatório e punitivo, permitindo a governamentalização da execução penal. A consequência mais perversa deste estado de coisas é a absoluta ineficácia da administração prisional no enfraquecimento das facções criminosas. 2012-10-19 2022-03-18T18:33:16Z 2022-03-18T18:33:16Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/5419 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63144 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/5419/4328 Copyright (c) 2012 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 17 n. 33 (2012): Dossiê: Segurança Pública e Justiça Criminal, desafios à Sociologia no Brasil 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
