The present work approaches the re-socialization and legitimacy of the jurisdiction to
guarantee women prisoner's fundamental rights while serving a sentence in the State
of Pará, Brazil. The reality of most incarcerated women is being restricted from human
rights and the absence of proper female penitentiary policies. The failure to apply
policies that assists incarcerated women, such as exams related to women's health;
provision of environments for nursery and day care; among others, are factors that
compromise the women's dignity. Thus, this paper aims to demonstrate the importance
of readjustment of this reality to guarantee human rights, with the insertion of women
as protagonists in the operation of the law, in order to deconstruct the male-oppressive
logic founding a patriarchal Criminal Law, thus providing, greater visibility and legal
and social support for incarcerated women. Therefore, this project will deal with the
disrespect to the dignity and human rights of the imprisoned woman and the current
situation of the Penal System and Feminist Criminology. Finally, it will address the state
responsibility related to female incarceration, as well as the need for a Feminist
Criminology and the consequent implementation of feminist penitentiary policies. Is
was used the inductive method, through the specific analysis of the disrespect for
women's rights in prison situations, to further address the need for a feminist
criminology able to implement feminist penitentiary policies focused to meet the
specific needs of the female gender inserted in the prison. Also, the methodology was
based on data analysis contained in the Journal of the State Secretariat for Penitentiary
Administration (SEAP) available on the agency’s official website.
