ABSTRACT
RESUMO: Objetivo: Apresentar um estudo de prevalência em presídios e estimar o percentual de pessoas privadas de liberdade, profissionais de saúde e agentes penitenciários infectados com o SARS-CoV-2 no Espírito Santo (ES). Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo de prevalência com amostragem realizada em 34 unidades prisionais no ES, estratificadas entre os dias 31 de agosto e 4 de setembro de 2020, com base no Population-based age-stratified seroepidemiological investigation protocol for COVID-19 virus infection. Realizaram-se entrevistas e testes rápidos para detecção de imunoglobina G e M nos grupos citados. Resultados: Entre os 1.830 indivíduos (311 profissionais de saúde, 675 agentes penitenciários e 844 pessoas privadas de liberdade - PPL), as prevalências de infecção por COVID-19 foram 11,89% para os profissionais de saúde, 22,07% para os agentes penitenciários e 31,64% para as PPL. A maioria era do sexo masculino, com idade entre 21 a 40 anos, ensino fundamental e superior e cor parda, e os entrevistados concentravam-se na Região Metropolitana de Vitória. Conclusão: Observou-se que a prevalência foi maior entre as pessoas privadas de liberdade em todas as regiões no regime fechado e para os agentes penitenciários no regime semiaberto, com destaque para a Região Norte. Quanto à comparação entre os regimes e região, observaram-se distinções entre os grupos das PPL com testes positivos. Para que se alcance a eficácia no combate à COVID-19 no sistema prisional, são necessárias ações de desencarceramento, testes e vacinação em massa, como também outras ações de saúde.
ABSTRACT: Objective : To present a prevalence study held in prisons and estimate the percentage of persons deprived of liberty, health professionals, and prison officers infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Espírito Santo (ES). Methods: This is a prevalence study with a sample from 34 ES prisons, stratified between August 31 and September 4, 2020, following the Population-based age-stratified seroepidemiological investigation protocol for COVID-19 virus infection. The participants were interviewed and underwent rapid tests to detect immunoglobulin G and M in the groups mentioned. Results: Among 1,830 individuals (311 health professionals, 675 prison officers, and 844 persons deprived of liberty - PDL), the prevalence of COVID-19 infection was 11.89% for health professionals, 22.07% for prison officers, and 31.64% for PDL. Most interviewees were male, aged 21 to 40 years, had completed elementary school and higher education, were multiracial, and situated in the Metropolitan area of Vitória. Conclusion : The prevalence was higher among persons deprived of liberty in the closed regime in all regions, as well as prison officers working in the semi-open regime, particularly in the North region. As for the comparison between regimes and regions, differences were identified between PDL groups with positive test results. Effectively combating COVID-19 within the prison system requires prison release actions, testing, and mass vaccination, as well as other health actions.

La investigación Estado de los derechos fundamentales de las personas privadas de la libertad en los establecimientos penitenciarios y carcelarios de Medellín se ocupó de definir el contexto histórico y actual de los establecimientos de privación de la libertad en el municipio de Medellín. De acuerdo con ello se describen los establecimientos que han existido en el municipio y los que actualmente existen para la privación de la libertad de miembros de la Policía Nacional, el Ejército Nacional y civiles adultos hombres y mujeres. Como una manera de evidenciar que la privación de la libertad es discriminada en diversos tipos de establecimientos y que aquellos que se construyeron como la solución a grandísimos problemas penitenciarios y carcelarios simplemente entran a hacer parte del problema.
