O SERVIÇO DE GUARDA DE PRESÍDIOS:

um estudo a partir da experiência dos profissionais militares

Abstract

One of the questions treated inside the Public Security Policy is the so-called prison management, which at the current Brazilian context presents many challenges. These challenges present themselves within all public policies, but especially in the ones of public health and public security, having considered the Covid-19 pandemics that plagues the world. Already held such occupation in the referred units. In fact, we experience difficult moments, which are demanding new habits such as distance, for example. These can generate several conflicts both in the common social spaces and in the deprivation of freedom. In this step, this article has as its general scope to verify the possibility of withdrawing from the external guard service of the prison units of greater Natal in the state of Rio Grande do Norte / RN. The research is exploratory in nature with a quantitative approach, with the application of a questionnaire, prepared by Google Forms due to the pandemic of Covid / 19, its collection took place via Whatzapp in the period from May to June 2020, with the military police who are or who have already exercised this type of function in the referred units. They showed that 60% of police officers have been working in prisons for less than a year, and yet 97% of participants agree with the removal of the PM from the prison guard service. They argue that with this there is a misuse of functions, that the state government is already taking the judicial measures for the withdrawal, and that the exit from prisons benefits society, as it gains more men in ostensive policing.
