Legislative power; Penitentiary system; Commissions; Public policy; Balanced Scorecard (BSC)
The tip of the iceberg of the crisis in the penitentiary system of recent years has been overcrowding of prisons leaving a trail of rebellions, deaths, fugues and images of unhealthy prison conditions. The overcrowding is fueled by the lack of recovery of the graduates and by the growth of crime combined with the inability of the State to invest in the supply of new vacancies or adequate conditions of re-socialization of prisoners. This research rescues the discussion of the problem in the scope of the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte. The Legislative power of Rio Grande do Sul has today established a Special Commission on the Prison System in force. In view of the role played by the Legislative Assembly as a constituent power in the elaboration of public policies, the present work seeks to analyze the current situation of the penitentiary system in the State of Rio Grande do Norte and proposes to study the feasibility of implementing a Commission Or permanent subcommittee within the scope of the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte to deal specifically with the Penitentiary System seeking the improvement and improvement of the aforementioned public policy.
