APAC AS A PUBLIC POLICY OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE STATE OF RONDÔNIA: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIESAPAC Methodology. Public policy. Rights and guarantees of the arrested person. Rondônia.
This study aims to discuss the feasibility of making the method developed by Associação de Proteção e Assistência ao Condenado (APAC) as a Court of Justice of Rondônia's public politic, verifying the mains hindrances for its creation and its installation, based on the experience of APAC from Ji-Paraná (RO). It is noted that the actual model of serving the custodial sentence in Brazilian prisons does not recover the prisoner, on the contrary, it favors an environment conducive to the escalation and evolution of criminality. The methodology adopted was a bibliographical and documental research with a qualitative approach. This is about a study of an empirical-theoretical nature that, resorting to literature, searched for conceptual elements that theoretically dialogue with the thematic proposal in question. Furthermore, interviews were carried out and questionnaires were applied to professionals linked to the problem in the state of Rondônia. The informations from the interviews and from the questionnaires were collected between August 2022 to May 2023. In this sense, searching a alternative form of serving the sentence and which aims to safeguard the rights and guarantees of the prisoner, the methodology developed by APAC is a possible alternative, at a much lower cost than the common system and with significantly lower recidivism rates.
