RANGEL, Flavio Medeiros  and  BICALHO, Pedro Paulo Gastalho. The Extension of Prison Time and the Violation of Rights in Custody of Prisoners in Brazil. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.3, pp.473-483. ISSN 1794-4724.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.4304.

The presented article aims to analyze some perspectives of the political rationality that governs the Brazilian prison system in the actuality. To this end, reports of inspections in Brazilian penal establishments made between 2011 and 2012 by the National Council for Criminal and Penitentiary Policy were taken as the research object. The analysis of the extension of pris on time made it possible to infer that the logic is not limited to prisons, but exists within the society instead, particularly directed at those at the margin of production and consumption. Therefore the prison as observed is the effect and it retains its function of reinforcing this rationality.

Keywords : Crime; prison; public policies; social issues.
