TORTURE SURVEYS IN PRISONAL UNITS IN PORTO VELHO-RO: the (in) visibility of torture and proposals to face the problem
Torture. Inquiries. Investigation. Prison Units. Porto Velho-RO.
The present paper deals with the investigation of torture practiced within prison walls, in the capital of Porto Velho, state of Rondônia. The theoretical framework is studied from a worldwide, regional and local perspective, addressing the periods of dissemination of the practice of the Inquisition to the Brazilian military dictatorship, discussing the most relevant points, especially in the historical periods when those kinds of practices were "institutionalized," inherent to the real or state functions themselves, positivized and applied by the Philippine Ordinances. As a general goal, it's intended to carry out a research on the inconclusive Police Inquiries, where the alleged crime of torture occurred in a prison unit, and supposedly was committed by a state agent, in order to establish the obstacles to the progress of the investigation of these crimes in its several modalities. The deductive method is applied, as well as the bibliographic and documental research, the referent, the categorization based on the typification of the crimes committed and their agents identified as authors and the operational description of the terms. We conclude that there is evidence of torture occurring in all the prison units analyzed, due to a complexity of factors such as cultural, those resulting from overcrowding, lack of working conditions, impunity, and other factors, suggesting a series of confrontation projects, which go through periodic recycling of agents, through non-torturing training, re-education for Human Rights and it's transversality, new ways of valuing the career of prison staff, incorporating technologies for measuring nonviolent performance, among other measures.
