Partnership between Seap and Seduc promotes training on security protocols in penal units
The goal is to guide and clarify the servers of the two secretariats regarding the procedures that must be adopted and followed during educational activities
The State Department of Education (Seduc), in partnership with the State Department of Penitentiary Administration (Seap), held a training session this morning aimed at the servers of both institutions to clarify the Operational Procedure Manual adopted by Seap. The head of the Operational Management Undersecretariat (Sago) of Seap, Ringo Alex Rayol Frias, delivered the lecture, invited by the Youth and Adult Education Coordination of Seduc.
Since it was adopted by Seap, the Operational Procedure Manual has been one of the fundamental pillars for the State to regain control of the Pará penal system. However, for those outside the institution, such as teachers working in prison education, it generates doubts. The training held at Augusto Meira College served to clarify and guide everyone on the necessary security issues in the work of social reintegration through education.
In Ringo's assessment, the event is an opportunity to maintain integration and keep the technical cooperation agreement established between Seap and Seduc fully operational, strengthening and adding value, allowing this connection with the operators working in the prison environment.
Ringo adds that the event is also an opportunity to present to the audience some technical knowledge of security, access control, and control of some procedures that are adopted and must be followed by everyone during educational activities.
"The meeting also aims, preventively, to avoid any type of reactive occurrence, when we pass this knowledge to the professional working within our prison units. And it also directs our penitentiary system operators towards an improvement in the condition of this assistance, which is fundamental and is prescribed in law 7.210, the law of penal executions," says the deputy secretary.
Dialogue – The training promoted today will also serve to bring the professionals of the two secretariats even closer, but it will also allow the servers to understand their roles in the reintegration work that involves prison education.
"We will promote other meetings to bring the figure of the prison unit director, from the penal police itself, so that we can understand the need to close this institutional cycle, which is to promote custody and social reintegration. This is our métier, this is our institutional mission, and we need to put it into practice in an orderly and productive manner," said Ringo.
The coordinator of Youth and Adult Education at Seduc, Ana Claudia de Mores Neves, commented that the Seduc-Seap agreement is a priority to ensure schooling for People Deprived of Liberty (PPLs). Knowing the security protocol procedures was one of the demands of the agreement, reinforcing the importance of always being highlighted and always updated for the servers, especially the teachers.
"Especially since our education professionals are inside the prison units. So, we need to ensure that the work is uniform, that we guarantee schooling for people deprived of liberty, but that we also have full security. Being here today with Seap, in a four-hour training session, is important. And this only increased the need for expanding this training," defended the coordinator.
For Ana Claudia, the training was an opportunity to address a demand that has been ongoing for more than eight years, as the requests for clarifications ran in parallel, but without a moment to be presented, clarified, and discussed together.
"It is important for us to align services, and that we can conjugate together the same security protocol, the same guarantee of rights. So, this is extremely important. It has been more than eight years since the security protocol training was held. So, it is a milestone for both Seap and Seduc in terms of guaranteeing rights," she concluded.
