Abstract

This study aims to analyze prison education as a tool for resocialization in the context of the state of Pará, with an emphasis on the Youth and Adult Education (EJA) modality. Amidst a backdrop of rising crime rates and precarious structural conditions in Brazilian prison facilities, the research is guided by the question: How do the historical and structural challenges of prison education, particularly within the EJA modality, impact the resocialization processes of incarcerated individuals in Pará? To address this question, the study explores the historical evolution of punitive practices and incarceration systems on global, national, and regional scales, highlighting the transformations that have occurred over time. Furthermore, it examines the socio-economic profile of incarcerated individuals in Pará and analyzes the regulatory documents that guide educational processes within the prison environment. The qualitative approach adopted, based on bibliographic and documentary research—as outlined by Dias and Silva (2009), Lakatos and Marconi (1992), and Lüdke and Menga (2018)—allowed for a critical and reflective interpretation of the data, integrating theoretical contributions from authors such as Freire (1996), Foucault (1987), and Durkheim (1975). The findings indicate that, although the implementation of EJA programs represents progress in the resocialization process, historical, socio-economic, and cultural barriers continue to hinder the effective execution of these initiatives.
