ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to present the experience of the handling of the mentally ill by criminal justice, discussing and analyzing the characteristics of security measures. To this end, focus is placed on the democratic criminal law model introduced in the 1988 Federal Constitution, coupled with the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, in order to break with secular tradition developed around the segregation and social exclusion of individuals deemed insane. In addition, a theoretical and practical framework is provided, where health managers and law and health professionals will find the first lines for reflection on employment and execution of security measures. The aim is to offer a new perspective for reorientation of the current criminal justice model: the adoption of the model commended by democratic psychiatry in support of the penal system reform with respect to security measures. It is a question of approaching Criminal Law and Penal Procedural Law with a humanizing view of criminal procedures involving mentally ill criminals. The model used consists of theoretical and practical research on techniques and experiences developed by mental health teams. It is based on the experience gathered in criminal justice and in psycho-social assistance regarding management of public health services in the field of mental health. This experience represents a challenge within a Democratic and Social Law State, where Criminal Law and Penal Procedural Law must guarantee the individual freedoms and citizenship of the mentally ill.
