The declaration of the Unconstitutional State of Things in the Brazilian prison system by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) was paradigmatic from a symbolic point of view, considering the opening of the Court to the appreciation of the so-called "structural litigation". Despite this, years after its declaration, little or nothing has changed in the degrading conditions of the country's prison system. This article seeks to analyze the judicial discourse in the preliminary injunction given in the case of ADPF 347, in order to investigate the presence of a possible (in)willingness of the court to engage itself in an constitutional dialogue with the political branches and create a cooperative environment to overcome systemic failures that violate fundamental rights. To this end environment to overcome systemic failures that violate fundamental rights. To this end, the work will be divided into three parts, in which they will be studied, respectively: the idea of dialogical activism as an alternative to solipsist activism and judicial self-restraint; two normative theories that guide the jurisdictional stance towards the judicialization of structural issues; and, finally, the arguments of the reporting minister in partially granting the preliminary injunction in ADPF 347. The research is bibliographic and documentary with qualitative analysis of the case.
