RESUMO

This research proposes to investigate the limits and possibilities of education developed in the context of imprisonment, taking as parameter the Brazilian penitentiary system. The prison as a totalitarian and disciplinary institution is a social space where the goals have been abandoned, giving rise to security measures and revenge against the prisoner, resulting in personal relationships and social processes that destroy the man, denying their humanity while stealing his staff brought, holding him in a parallel culture. Opposed to the prison context, we have that education, understood and expressly recognized in national and international legal texts as a human right, work as an instrument of human liberation, offering him the opportunity to better understand the world in which remains to be inserted, emerging from there as a man of decision, responsible for its own destiny, free from the determinism violators of their dignity. From the literature review, the experience reports of inmates and correctional professionals, and empirical observation in prison in Paraíba, the research identified in the prison school, despite countless obstacles of its own, a space reconstruction of the human being through the inmate to envision a different reality, oblivious to the "world of crime" a set of new possibilities.
