Políticas públicas prisionais em resposta à ADPF nº 347: superencarceramento, estado de coisas inconstitucional e possibilidades de reforma no sistema prisional do Acre

Abstract

This study addresses the Acre prison system, highlighting the crisis of overcrowding, structural precariousness and the violation of inmates' fundamental rights, issues that reflect the unconstitutional state of affairs recognized by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in ADPF nº 347. The central problem of the research is to investigate whether the public prison policies adopted by the state of Acre, in response to ADPF nº 347, are capable of mitigating this unconstitutional state of affairs, reducing overcrowding and improving the living conditions of prisoners. The general objective is to analyze the effectiveness of these policies, focusing on the viability of the Vacancy Regulation Center as a solution to balance prison occupancy. The research uses a qualitative and descriptive methodology, combining procedural methods: bibliographical research, documentary research and case study, with emphasis on the measures imposed by ADPF nº 347. The results indicate that, although there are advances, such as the release of resources of FUNPEN and the implementation of custody hearings, overcrowding and precarious conditions persist. Vacancy regulation appears as a promising tool to balance prison occupancy, but it faces structural and administrative challenges that need to be overcome.
