GUIMARAES, Thais Albernaz  and  LUNA, Sergio Vasconcelos de. Penitentiary social reintegration programs: a behavioral analysis approach. Temas psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.2, pp. 439-449. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2013.2-11.

The present article reports results obtained from research that analyzed Penitentiary Social Reintegration Programs based on Behavioral Analysis Approach literature. The research sought to identify programming elements which should be present in creating a Social Reintegration Project in order to increase the probability of actual preparation of the inmate to face the challenges placed by the environment once out of imprisonment. Reports of existing projects provided in the Social Reintegration Project Manual of the Penitentiary Administration Department were confronted with a Behavioral Analysis proposal for reintegration on five categories created as conditional aspects for an effective reintegration project. The analysis was relevant as it identified the missing and uncertain aspects of the projects presented, and allowed for an evaluation of probable implementation issues.

Keywords : behavior analysis; social rehabilitation; penitentiary system.
