However, the main goal of this study is to know, through a field research, the reality of the prison in the State of São Paulo and comparing it with the legal provisions, identifying the factors that emcumber the social reintegration of prisoners. It is proved that, during the fulfillment of the sentence there is no work towards increasing schooling level, job training neither strengthening of the inmate as a person and citizen, which highlights the contrast between the legal system and prison reality. Given such finding, it is argued that the challenges of reintegration must be faced by society, through Community Councils, which is necessary to intervene and to joint forces in the organization, by offering opportunities for the action and participation of the inmates to improve their conditions regarding labor market and thus achieve the necessary and much-desired social reintegration
