Resumo

Within these discussions, it is common to reflect on the importance of public policies to promote the prevention of this phenomenon. The Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Penal Execution Law confirm that education and work also represent effective mechanisms to promote resocialization of inmates and minimize violence. This research aimed to analyze the difficulties faced by companies and penitentiaries to enable access and to increase productive, activities for the prison population. The methodology used was the narrative literature review produced about this subject, specifically in Brazil, in the last five years. The results obtained by the research reveal that several aspects hinder the expansion of productive activities for the prison population. Inside the penitentiaries it is clear the overcrowding, the lack of resources, the inappropriate infrastructure and the neglect of public power in developing policies for resocialization. The private sector also faces complications such as the lack of instruction and professional qualification of inmates, the consequences of world economic crisis, the absence of State incentive destined to companies which offer productive activities in penitentiaries and the reproduction of stigmas and prejudice towards prisoners and former prisoners. It was concluded that the right to have access to work has been denied to most inmates, therefore, the resocialization, used to legitimize the incarceration policy adopted in Brazil, remains restricted to the theoretical plan.
