Abstract

This article seeks to unfold the significant alterations made by the new “Anticrime” criminal legislation on procedures related to serving criminal sentences. This is indisputably the most significant legal modification in this area of law in years, and it will affect most of the prisoners serving sentences in Brazil. The new legal provisions reveal, in addition to a very bad legislative text, evident unconstitutionality and a punitive intent n that goes against the urgent need of reducing prison population, a necessity expressed not only by legal experts but also by the Supreme Court. As conceived, these new procedures related to serving criminal sentences will result in numerous debates in the Courts and will also contribute to worsen even more the already very bad situation of the Brazilian prison system.
