Brazil’s “Remição pela Leitura” (Remission through Reading) program gives inmates a powerful tool for transformation: books. For every approved book read and report submitted, a prisoner can reduce their sentence by 4 days, up to 48 days per year.
The reports must demonstrate comprehension and critical thinking, and are reviewed by a panel. The initiative not only improves literacy but also helps inmates reintegrate into society with greater confidence and education.
Reform Through Knowledge
This policy reflects Brazil’s growing belief that rehabilitation works better with education than isolation. In a place where time is everything, books give people a chance to earn theirs back — page by page.
