The situation of invisibility of people with disabilities deprived of their liberty in the
penitentiary system represents a flagrant violation of human rights to equality and human
dignity. The present research started from the need to identify the conditions of architectural
accessibility of people with physical disabilities in the Tocantins penitentiary system, and
aimed to diagnose, in the penal units of the State, the compliance with the norms that regulate
architectural accessibility, especially the NBR 9050 and the Basic Guidelines for Criminal
Architecture (Resolution 09/2011, of the National Council for Criminal and Penitentiary
Policy), list the (inter)national protection norms for people with disabilities in prison and
point out ways to change the reality and overcome the identified violations. Considering the
need for a precise delimitation and the nature of the research undertaken in the Professional
Master's, the locus of the research took place in the Casa de Prisão Provisoria de Palmas.
During the research, technical products were developed, including events organized with the
aim of disseminating knowledge and broadening the debate about accessibility and inclusion
of people with disabilities in the prison environment, aiming to give concreteness to what is
provided for in art. 79, § 1, of the Statute of Persons with Disabilities; resolution proposals
with the Superior Council of the Public Defender's Office of the State of Tocantins (DPE-
TO); recommendation; surveys; and a judicial request seeking to give effect to the rights of
people with disabilities deprived of their liberty in the Casa de Prisão Provisoria de Palmas.
Based on the researcher's professional experience and the use of a qualitative approach,
structured in an interdisciplinary way, this dissertation lists the (inter)national treaties,
conventions and norms for the protection of the human rights of people with disabilities, as
well as analyzes a Technical evaluation report of the basic guidelines for penal architecture
related to the Provisional Prison House of Palmas – TO. The dissertation and other technical
products will be able to engender greater knowledge about the rights of people with physical
disabilities in prison, especially architectural accessibility and inclusion; be used to support
the performance of the Public Power in the organization and planning of public policies for
architectural accessibility; subsidize new projects, research and studies aimed at the rights of
people with disabilities deprived of their liberty; to support the performance of the criminal
enforcement bodies responsible for protecting the human rights of this vulnerable public; as
well as education in human rights and training of professionals working in the penitentiary
system.
