Summary/Abstract: The present work analyzes the main changes in Brazilian criminal execution following the entry into force of Law 13.964/2019 (an anti-crime package), with a study of the principles and charac- teristics of criminal execution in the country. The legislation introduced several changes into the system of the execution of sentences, mostly with stricter rules. In turn, the constitutionality of the amendments in view of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution is demonstrated. The descriptive and comparative methods for examining past and current legislation is appropriate for the analysis of this study. The results of the study show that the legislator was right about the changes made in the Criminal Execution Law (Law No. 7.210/1984).
