Criminal policy takes on new shapes in Rio de Janeiro during the new coronavirus pandemic. The State expresses its ultra-conservative and punitive approach to manage the public health crisis in the precarious prison system, reducing the law and expanding the prison economy. The purpose of this text is to reflect on some elements introduced and / or reaffirmed during the pandemic in the prison system, such as the increase in family expenses, which with suspended visits, deliver more food and money, the voluntary work carried out by prisoners in the mass production of masks. and the consideration of the use of containers and alteration of prison architecture rules. As a methodology, the study used documents produced by MEPCT / RJ (institution that monitors and inspects places of deprivation of liberty in the state), and presents evidence to think of new dynamics in prison, along with a relevant review of literature to reflect on the issue. The paper also identifies the instrumentalization of the world health crisis for the agenda of criminal recrudescence in Brazil, guaranteeing profitability and capital reproduction.Downloads
