The meeting brought together magistrates, public managers, researchers and civil society to discuss strategies for social reintegration, strengthening of the Social Offices and integration among Powers.
The opening ceremony was attended by the magistrate holder of the court of criminal executions of the district of Gurupi and member of the Group for Monitoring and Inspection of the Prison System and Execution of Socio-educational Measures of the TJTO, Judge Odete Almeida; the executive secretary of the Secretariat for Citizenship and Justice, doctor Hélio Pereira Marques; the second public defender of the state of Tocantins, doctor Danilo Frasseto Michelini; the prosecutor of the State Prosecution of Tocantins, doctor Rodrigo de Souza; and the president of the Commission on Human Rights of the BAR/TO, doctor Maria Lúcia Soares Viana. The five composed the programming bringing, respectively, the perspectives of the Executive Power, the Public Defender’s Office, the State Prosecution and the Advocacy in Human Rights, reinforcing the inter institutional character of the meeting and the joint commitment to the attention to the former inmate.
During the Opening Table, Judge Odete Almeida highlighted the social role of the Judiciary in addition to the acting on the files.
“The National Council of Justice requires from the Judiciary a very large social performance. In the social context, our responsibility is huge, because the Judiciary is the last trench of the citizen. When the Judiciary goes out to the field and acts in partnership with the Executive, what is expected is that society will reap the fruits of this institutionalized social responsibility", she said.
