A população transexual/travesti no sistema prisional brasileiro.

Abstract

This concluding work addresses the essential rights of transvestite and transgender women that must be guaranteed in the prison system, but more precisely demonstrates what the State has done to enable these prisoners to serve their sentences in places appropriate to their gender identity. For this work, research was carried out to conceptualize some topics that are entirely linked to the main theme. The topics covered are gender definition, gender identity, rights of transvestite/transsexual women in and out of prison, among others. This work also deals with the right to equality of inmates, the prohibition of discrimination against this part of the population that is forgotten in prisons. Finally, books, articles and data searches deal with the current situation of prisoners in prison and the progress made by the judiciary in relation to the LGBT population in prison. In the end, it is clear that, even though the scenario is not yet the most adequate, there have been great advances for Trans women. And Transvestites had their rights and dignity assured during the execution of their sentences.
