Contribuição ao estudo dos dilemas e impactos das unidades prisionais do Pontal do Paranapanema: um estudo de caso do município de Marabá Paulista/SP

Abstract

The main contribution of this work was the discussion about the dilemmas that were generated from the implantation of the prison unit in the municipality of Marabá Paulista, in the state of São Paulo. The research was carried out from the analysis of the history of capitalist occupation in Pontal do Paranapanema, reflecting on the sociopolitical genesis of social inequality and misery, passing through the debate on public policies and state, as well as the historical contextualization of the implantation of the prison units in this region and a brief conceptualization of small towns. A bibliographic survey and data collection was carried out from the field work, through the application of questionnaires to the municipal authorities and to the population in general, as well as in an official database available, among them: Atlas of Social Vulnerability, Institute Brazilian Department of Geography and Statistics and Public Security Secretariat of São Paulo. Exploring some fundamental theoretical approaches to understanding inequality, poverty and the globalization process and understanding the historical process of the capitalist occupation in Pontal do Paranapanema and the progress of the implantation of the prison units in the State of São Paulo, it was possible to problematize and understand the circumstances of the process of massification of state-supported incarceration as a regional development action. The analysis of the results of the field work was presented, highlighting the understanding of the authorities and also of the population about the installed prison unit. In the final considerations, it was pointed out the social, economic, environmental and cultural impacts related to the implantation of the prison unit and the regional development.
