Dissertação (Mestrado em Administração Pública) – Escola de Governo Professor Paulo Neves de Carvalho da Fundação João Pinheiro, Belo Horizonte, 2022.http://repositorio.fjp.mg.gov.br/handle/123456789/4046With the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, the world was forced to adapt its way of living and coexisting. The executive branch of the State of Minas Gerais declared a state of public calamity between March 2020 and December 2021, a period in which several measures were adopted based on the implementation of a governance structure with the main aim of curbing the spread of the virus, mitigating the effects of the disease and ensure the continuity of public services. Within the scope of the Minas Gerais prison system, the second most populous in the country, characterized by a large number of units and overcrowding, an emergency public governance structure was established, responsible for the decisions of that public policy. The dissertation analyzes the governance arrangement during the Covid-19 pandemic, verifying the functioning of the prison system and the maintenance of custody processes and assistance to the prisoner. Based on the mobilization of a theoretical framework related to Covid-19, the prison system and public governance, qualitative and descriptive research was carried out through a case study in Minas Gerais during the pandemic period. As instruments for data collection, literature review, documentary surveys, semi-structured interviews and technical visits were used. The documentary analysis involved 204 Deliberations of the Covid-19 Extraordinary Committee, 186 state normative acts, 14 federal normative acts and 31 state and federal legislation relevant to the subject. There were also 16 interviews with key actors identified in the research process, such as state public servants of Minas Gerais in public safety, health, ombudsman, Public Ministry, Public Defender, Judiciary and representatives of lawyers, trade unions and friends and family of prisoners. A technical visit to the prison unit was also carried out to verify the processes of custody and assistance to the prisoner in the pandemic period, using a record in a field notebook. Research findings indicate the introduction of measures to protect the health of civil servants and convicts, changes in the organization of the work process, implementation of the recommendations of the National Council of Justice, and influence of external actors in state governance, such as the federal government, Judiciary and Public Ministry. The research also revealed that the prisoner's access to assistance guarantees was limited, but the idea of protection aimed at by governance can be demonstrated as the data obtained showed a non-expressive number of prisoners who died due to Covid-19. The dissertation contributes to prison management with the dissemination of information about the modus operandi of action in the prison system of Minas Gerais during the pandemic, enabling its application, in the future, by other public entities in similar situations. New studies are suggested to evaluate the routine of prison units after the pandemic period; verifying whether the experience of Covid-19 and the governance arrangement itself will contribute to the improvement of prison management; of comparative analysis between other states and countries to understand how they were organized and the results obtained for their prison systems.open acessSistema prisionalMinas GeraisPandemiaCovid-19Administração públicaDissertaçãoCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ADMINISTRACAO::ADMINISTRACAO PUBLICA
