O perfil das mulheres encarceradas nas regiões norte e nordeste do Brasil: um olhar a partir dos artigos científicos

Abstract

The prison system in Brazil, in general, does not demonstrate minimum conditions for prisoners, and the situation plummets even more when it comes to the female gender. Brazilian women were placed in a historical context marked by the lack of care and attention to their existence in the penitentiary system and this invisibility reflects in the State's performance, which disregards the peculiarities and particularities inherent to the female figure. In this sense, the present article aimed to carry out a systematic analysis of 4 articles published in a magazine between the years 2010 and 2020, dealing with the profile of women in the prison system in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. For that, the Scielo, Google Scholar and Academia.edu databases were used. After analyzing the data offered by the surveys, it was noticed that the profile of women in these conditions, in general, is similar. However, due to the scarcity of studies on the subject and the invisibility of the female gender, especially in these respective regions, the analysis also found that it was not possible to reach a result, in a broad and reliable way, with only 4 articleson the referred subject, so that he realized the urgent need to induce scientific research on this universe.
