Entretanto, ao analisar o sistema prisional brasileiro, verifica-se um quadro desolador de viola??es reiteradas a direitos fundamentais. Questiona-se, ent?o, se a omiss?o estatal, ao n?o garantir o dever de prote??o ?s pessoas privadas de sua liberdade, pode configurar o que a corte constitucional colombiana definiu como sendo um ?Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional?. A partir da constata??o de eventual incapacidade do poder p?blico em sanar esta viola??o massiva e generalizada de v?rios direitos fundamentais exsurge a possibilidade de interven??o pela via do controle jurisdicional das pol?ticas p?blicas correlatas ao problema. N?o se pode olvidar, entretanto, que o princ?pio da separa??o de poderes propugna que a atua??o judicial deve se dar subsidiariamente nestes casos, apenas para suprir a omiss?o das outras esferas de poder, no intuito de efetivar os princ?pios constitucionais em quest?o. / Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 has listed many guarantees to incarcerated persons deriving from the core of the principle of human dignity. However, analyzing the Brazilian prison system, can be found a bleak picture of repeated violations of fundamental rights. Then, the question is whether State?s omission, who failed to ensure the protection of the incarcerated persons rights, can configure what the Colombian Constitutional Court has defined as an "Unconstitutional State of Fairs". From finding potential inability of the government to remedy this massive and widespread violation of various fundamental rights rises the possibility of intervention by the judicial policy making related to the problem. We should not forget, however, that the principle of separation of powers advocates judicial action in these cases must be given just in an alternative way, only to supply the omission of other spheres of power, in order to give effect to the constitutional principles in question.
