O documentário retrata a ineficácia do sistema carcerário brasileiro, sobretudo sua falha no processo de ressocialização. As lentes de Paulo Sacramento conseguem captar a desobediência a vários princípios constitucionais, principalmente em relação à dignidade do apenado.

Por outro lado, o documentário revela as condições sub-humanas a que os apenados estão submetidos no cárcere, confirmando o descaso Estatal que impera no Sistema Penal brasileiro.
