Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the special prison reserved for graduates, according the Article 295, VII, of the Criminal Procedure Code. The study calls for reflection on the discriminatory character of the institute, by providing different treatment to inmates, which is not conditioned by contingencies of each particular case (based, for example, in the need to ensure the physical integrity of the prisoner himself), but only regarding the educational level of the individual. In the course of the text, brief remarks emphasize the most evident discrepancies between the law and the principles enshrined in the Federal Constitution of 1988, with special relevance given to discussion started by the Brazilian Supreme Court, with the judicial analysis of the ADPF n.º 334/2015. In turn, the jus-philosophical analysis, based on Kant's reflection on the moral act, has defined it´s headlines in critical theory sponsored by Jürgen Habermas that, based on Mead, Kohlberg and Piaget's researchs, helps us to respond to the main question of the title.
