Abstract: The punishment appears as a restoration of the disturbed balance which must be proportionate
to the committing of the crime, provided and determined by the criminal law, to respond to the social
need of justice.
The execution of a prison sentence, at this moment, is progressively losing touch with the
reeducation.
In some countries, detainees execute their punishment in a system that does not help them
reeducate or reintegrate into society in a substantial way. Both the physical environment and the
implemented corrective programs appear to generate more anger and frustration than hope and
opportunity.
More or less traumatic, the experiences that a prisoner may reach in prison, a lack of privacy,
unpleasant prison cell conditions, a tough institutional routine, aggressiveness / behavior of cell
colleagues, or lack of adaptation might live in prison, may endanger mental health and, implicitly,
reeducation or reintegration into the community.
I think that punishment binds inseparably the concepts of reeducation and reintegration into the
community, constituting unity, and the psychological consequences of deprivation of liberty can be
significant impediments for the post-penitentiary period. They can prevent the former convict from
being reintegrated into society and compromise the capacity of the incarcerated parent to resume his
role in the family.
