Contribuição para a compreensão da história do Estabelecimento Penitenciário Preventivo da Cidade de Maputo (EPPCM)

Abstract

In 1936, the policy of a prison as a depository of cash was approved and decree number 26,539 instructed the penal colony for political prisoners. After studies were carried out on its organic aspect and even on its construction form, it was time to draw up a general and complete plan, in order to define the material conditions of installation, the mechanism of services and the form of execution of sentences. This is the objective of the decree-law. Article 140, the prison sentence or major prison sentence for political offenders who, according to the respective legislation, should not be subject to the regime of common prisons, will be served in this establishment separate from that intended for other inmates. This diploma aims to establish a complete plan for the organization of adult prisons, a harmonious system inspired by the data and conditions of penitentiary science.
