Abstract
This article aims to characterize the follow-up programs for young egresses from socioeducational measures of internment (SEM). The study was conducted with four coordinators of follow-up programs for SEM egresses from three Brazilian states. Data were collected by means of an individual open interview and analyzed based on Content/Thematic Analysis, obtaining the following categories related to follow-up programs for SEM egresses: creation and implementation, operation, and methodology. The results show that the follow-up programs assume different characteristics across Brazilian States, besides enabling the access of monitored egresses to social policies through a network, based on the institutional incompleteness and the accomplishment of the Individual Plan of Attention. Although these programs represent the continuity of socioeducational measures, a greater investment is required to ensure their continuous offer as a universal policy, establishing a continued service with principles, guidelines, and goals at a national level.
