The METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES USED IN THE APAC OF VIÇOSA MG IN THE SEARCH FOR THE SOCIAL REINSERTION AND REINTEGRATION OF THE PAINTED

Abstract

The Associations for the Protection and Assistance of Convicts (APAC) is a non-profit legal and social entity whose main objective is the protection of prisoners and organized civil society. These entities were created with the premise that the common penitentiary system is not the appropriate place for the recovery of prisoners, since it is permeated by idleness, violent attitudes and speeches, without constituting a perspective of change both for the prisoner, and for the society to which he will return after serving his sentence. To answer and reach the results of this study, a combination of three research methods was made: the use of secondary data, participant observation and interviews. These methods made a more direct investigation possible, clarifying the issues related to the application of the methodologies used by APAC in Viçosa MG in the process of reintegration into society for those recovering. As a result, there was a discussion about the religious activities used in APAC in Viçosa-MG, in which human valorization is used as the basis for all 12 of its work elements. In the results, the structural characterization of the APAC in Viçosa was first discussed, where the structural divisions of space, the representativeness of objects for recovering persons and the institution's staff were discussed. Finally, the use of the twelve elements was discussed as a way of recovering and social reintegration of those recovering from APAC in Viçosa, MG, demonstrating how the institution visualizes each method
