The Brazilian penitentiary system

The objective of education is to form the human person of the prisoner according to his or her own vocation to reintegrate him or her into the human community in the sense of his or her contribution to the realization of the common good. Working in the search for the lost identity and participating in this modernized and mediatized society could be an articulating bias and a great challenge to generate changes commitments and to enable the re-educated to return to society with dignity. No re-socialization plan will be effective without the inmate exercising professional activities that occupy his time as a prisoner and allow him to exercise a professional activity when at liberty.
