Given this information, this study investigates the role of the library in the Xuri Penitentiary Complex in the processes of access to information and the remission of punishment through work, study and reading. Specifically, it reports the conformation of punishment and imprisonment in the context of criminal execution in Brazil; identifies the functioning and practices of penalty redemption developed by the prison units from their links with the libraries of the Xuri Penitentiary Complex in Vila Velha in Espírito Santo; characterizes the uses of prison libraries as a space for socio-educational practices and access to information for inmates at the Xuri Penitentiary Complex, in Vila Velha; and analyzes the potential for the implementation of projects aimed at remission of punishment through reading in the Xuri Penitentiary Complex, in Vila Velha, based on an emancipatory policy of the penal unit mediated by the library. It uses exploratory-descriptive research with a qualitative approach. As for the methodological procedures, it uses bibliographic, documentary and field research.
