Abstract

This research analyzes the work of Christian evangelists at Detention House of Cacoal/RO through a study on the Christian faith as an instrument for the resocialization of inmates in the complex Brazilian penitentiary sphere, investigating the dimension of the veracity of this work upon the prisioners whose were converted to a religious system, dealing with the benefits from the acceptance of the belief and its implications for the detainee's reintegration. To this dialectical bibliographic research and data collection was carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire. Thus, with the help of jurist theorists, Rogério Greco, Júlio Fabrini Mirabete, Nilo Batista, part of the origin and historical development of the prisons was rescued. Then, the Christian faith was defined based on concepts and philosophical discussions of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, René Descartes, Soren Aabye Kierkegaard and Manuel Garcia Morente. Finally, in local, interviews were answered by 24 vonlunteers: 10 followers of the faith while serving sentences, 5 beginners attending religious meetings while incarcerated, 3 leaders of religious segments working in this prison, the president of Apac of that city and, 6 prison officials’s. By the end It was identified that the service of agents of faith is recognized as necessary by the majority: prison employees, prisioners and society people. It was also concluded that there is a considerable numbers of beginners following some churches, although with little support from them, which reinforces their anguish for solving the biggest dilemma when returning to society, employment.
