Trabalho prisional à brasileira: as relações entre os tipos de trabalho disponibilizados aos presos e a divisão racial do trabalho no Brasil

Abstract

This dissertation intends to investigate if there is any relation between the species of prison work and its promotion by state public security agencies, with the slave-based socioeconomic regime resulting from the history of colonial occupation in Brazil. We adopt the hypothesis that, being structural in Brazilian society, racism as a means of production, maintenance and reproduction of social inequalities between races, has nuances reflected in the prison administration of labor policies of the prisoner as a means of social reintegration. The objective of the work is to analyze if the types of work promoted by the state public security agencies to the incarcerated, today, would have any relation with the social structure resulting from the slave economy and the racial division of labor from the colonial rule. It also seeks to investigate whether the prisoner's public labor policies would have the power to reveal the undeclared function of prison, in legitimizing inequalities between races with regard to the exercise of this or that gender / type of work, in consideration of the devaluation physical and manual trades. The methodology that guides this investigation is exploratory and bibliographic, aimed at understanding the formation of slave capitalism in Brazil and its current presence in the social structure, in the form of racism and its implications in the racial division of labor. In addition, for the purpose of analytical and comparative confrontation regarding the type of prison work fostered by captives, official data from the State Security Secretariats will be used to contextualize with the object of the research.
