This dissertation investigates the judicialization of compulsory internment for drug-addicted adolescents in conflict with the law in the state of Rondônia, Brazil, focusing on the Socioeducational Assistance Center in Ji-Paraná. The study critically analyzes the effectiveness of this measure and its impact on human rights. Through a historical overview of internment practices and a review of relevant legislation, the research reveals the limitations of compulsory internment as a solitary solution for drug addiction. It highlights the crucial role of social factors, such as family dynamics, socioeconomic conditions, and access to education, in contributing to the vulnerability of adolescents to drug use. The dissertation examines the ineffectiveness of public policies in addressing the complexities of drug addiction, emphasizing the lack of investment in prevention and reintegration programs. It criticizes the criminalization of drug use, advocating for a more humane and holistic approach that prioritizes the protection and rehabilitation of adolescents. The research analyzes the application of the Anti-Manicomial Law (Law 10.216/2001) in the context of compulsory internment, highlighting the importance of individualization and human dignity in the treatment of drug addiction. It reveals the insufficient funding allocated by the state of Rondônia to mental health and social assistance programs for adolescents in conflict with the law, which contributes to the ineffectiveness of existing measures. The study concludes by proposing an integrated intervention program that aims to strengthen the network of protection for adolescents in conflict with the law, encompassing preventive actions, social assistance, and reintegration. This proposed program emphasizes the crucial role of families, communities, and the state in collaborating towards a more effective and humane system of support. By shedding light on the complexities of drug addiction, the dissertation advocates for a paradigm shift in the approach to this issue, moving beyond punitive measures and focusing on prevention, treatment, and resocialization strategies that ensure the integral protection of adolescents and promote their social reintegration.
