The choice for the theme was due to the high rate of prison population presented by the National Penitentiary Department (DEPEN), revealing the insufficiency of the Brazilian Penal Execution Law to do what it has to do. In the course of this work, we used the method of inductive approach, adopting the monographic procedure. The research techniques involved documentary-legal and bibliographic research. The results obtained showed that the Brazilian Penal Execution Law, the Penal Code and the Constitution of the Federative Republic of 1988 provide for resocialization as the purpose of the penalty, without, however, conceptualizing it. The legal and doctrinal uncertainty hides the real function of the penalty while reinforcing its discourse around its legitimacy. Thus, it was found that the prison system works by propagating functions that it does not declare (hidden functions), but maintains its legitimacy through justification theories of punishment, where it declares its official functions.pt-BRDireitoRessocializaçãoSistema penitenciárioReintegração socialTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
