\"\"The state of S\u00e3o Paulo, which has the largest prison population in Brazil (nearly 220,000 people), was the only state not to provide data on its prisons for the latest survey by Infopen (Integrated Prison Information System), released in June this year by the Ministry of Justice. The survey is available here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conducted to address the serious shortage of information on the Brazilian prison system and to influence the debate on the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility in the Legislative<\/u><\/a>, the National Prison Information Survey<\/u><\/a> compiled information from all Brazil\u2019s prison facilities until June 2014.<\/p>\n

The collection of data for the survey, however, required the prison departments of each state to fill out a form and send it to Depen (National Prison Department of the Ministry of Justice). According to Depen, despite a number of deadline extensions and repeated requests, the SAP (S\u00e3o Paulo Prison Administration Department) did not submit the form or give any explanation why.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince this state is responsible for the custody of more than a third of the Brazilian prison population, we raised information on the type of facility, the number of places and the prison population from the website of the S\u00e3o Paulo State Prison Administration Department in April 2015,\u201d said Depen in a statement on the methodology used for the survey. \u201cOther information on the state of S\u00e3o Paulo could not be obtained and, despite its importance for the national prison assessment, was excluded from this report,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

In an official petition<\/u><\/a> sent on July 15 to the SAP secretary, Lourival Gomes, the Criminal Justice Network<\/u><\/a>, of which Conectas is part, requested the immediate dispatch of the state\u2019s prison data to Depen. Repeating the same critical tone of this document, the network of organizations also published an open letter<\/u><\/a> emphasizing the seriousness of SAP\u2019s posture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tacit and unacceptable refusal by S\u00e3o Paulo to fill out the data collection form \u2013 which means the omission of data on approximately 220,000 people \u2013 obscures the overall assessment of the country, distorts the results of the survey, obstructs the access to information, hinders the public debate and prevents the improvement of prison policy in S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 and Brazil,\u201d reads the letter.<\/p>\n
