According to Carreira (2009) "The education of illiterates and young prisoners must be integrated into the country's educational system, so that after their liberation they continue without difficulty their formation", this is understood as Prison Education as allied to process of social reintegration and reintegration of persons deprived of liberty. In addition to the description, the objective was to understand the extent to which the schooling offered is in line with the perspectives and individual needs of women deprived of liberty who are enrolled in the IPF Penitentiary School. The qualitative research used the following methodological resources: semi-structured interviews; systematic observations; informal conversations with officials, teachers and prisioners.
