In spite of the guarantees speech present the possible instruments for the defense of the accused and to equality of treatment to subjects in the process, the reality procedure indicates that this discourse is merely rhetorical and limited to theoretical plane-abstract, with difficulties to achieve practical-reformist. The work is bibliographic and develops concepts concerning the selectivity and the ways of controlling punitive power. To approach the subject, it was assumed the critical perspective of penal guaranteeism proposed by Luigi Ferrajoli.
