Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic brought to light the various problems that the prison system already had, such as overcrowding and lack of infrastructure, both physical and personal. In an attempt to contain the spread of the disease, the National Council of Justice (NCJ) created recommendations to guide the various public servers who work with imprisoned. Thus, this article aims to verify the impacts of Recommendations nº 62/2020 and 91/2021 of the CNJ on the Management of the Superintendence of Penitentiary Services during the COVID-19 pandemic in the years 2020/2021, having as specific objectives to know the legal scenario prior to the Resolutions; point out the legal effects of the changes and innovations brought about by the Recommendations; and to analyze the State Penitentiary Management during the years 2020 and 2021. This research is characterized as exploratory, regarding the nature of the data as qualitative, regarding the collection procedure, it is a documentary research that used documents such as laws and recommendations made available electronically on official websites of the bodies studied, with data collected between August 2022 and January 2023. Data analysis was carried out in an interpretative manner, seeking to extract as much information from the documents and relate them to the found legal and factual reality. It was noticed the lack of publicity and preparation of both managers and servers, and the scarcity of information about it. In addition, it has as a contribution the reflection of the improvement in the publicization of acts and channels to provide information to servers and the general public.
