O DL 401/82, de 23 de Setembro, que instituiu o Regime Penal Aplicável a Jovens Delinquentes, tem associada a intenção de não negar que o jovem imputável é merecedor de um tratamento penal especializado, apesar de já não nos encontrarmos no domínio tutelar educativo. Tratamento através do qual a sua possibilidade de ressocialização e educação são características essenciais para impedir os efeitos estigmatizantes da privação da liberdade, principalmente no quadro em que este se encontra: ainda no limiar da sua maturidade. Assim, foi prevista pelo legislador a criação de centros de detenção enquanto local alternativo à prisão para a execução de pena não superior a dois anos; no entanto, esta previsão não chegou a ter efetividade prática por falta de infraestruturas societárias que permitissem a sua aplicação, e não, propriamente, por falta de iniciativa legislativa. Não obstante, consideramos que deveria haver separação dos jovens em relação aos adultos em todas as situações, até mesmo quando se trate de penas superiores a dois anos.
É neste sentido, e tendo em conta a necessidade de reestruturação dos parques prisionais, que se procura “lutar” por uma separação física, dentro dos já existentes estabelecimentos para os jovens entre os 16 e os 21 anos, por forma a evitar os efeitos negativos que a influência de outros indivíduos, com diferentes níveis de perigosidade e em diversos estágios de criminalidade, pode acarretar no futuro criminal dos jovens adultos, nosso público alvo nesta investigação.
DL 401/82, of September 23rd, which established the Penal Regime for Juvenile Delinquents, is associated with the intention of not being able to deny that the imptable young person deserves specialized criminal treatment, even though we are no longer in the field of educational tutelage. Treatment through which its possibility of resocialization and education are essential characteristics to prevent the stigmatizing effects of deprivation of liberty, especially in the context in which it finds itself: still on the threshold of its maturity. Thus, the legislator foresaw the creation of detention centers as an alternative to prison for the execution of a sentence not exceeding two years; however, this forecast did not reach practical effectiveness due to the lack of corporate infrastructures that would allow its application, and not, precisely, due to the lack of legislative initiative. Nevertheless, we believe that there should be a separation of young people from adults in all situations, even when dealing with sentences greater than two years. It is in this sense, and taking into account the need to restructure prison buildings, that one seeks to “fight” for physical separation, within the already existing establishments for young people between 16 and 21 years of age in order to avoid the negative effects that the influence of other individuals, with different levels of danger and in different stages of criminality, can lead to the criminal future of young adults, our target audience in this investigation.
