Abstract

The paper briefly discusses the possibility of inmates to exercise the right of resistanceto oppose institutional violence. The right of resistance was spread in the contemporarydemocracies for the protection of rights and to control the legitimacy of the state acts. Inthis sense, it addressed the changes that culminated in the unfavorable scenario to theexpansion of speeches that claim for protection of fundamental rights of convicts.Nevertheless, based on the doctrine that claims the universalization of human rights, itis defended the lawfulness of conducts that seek to defeat the institutional violence anddeconstruct the manichean political game built on fear instilled in society.
