This article aims to analyze the performance of Community Councils in penal institutions in Rio Grande do Sul State, related to prison health. This is an exploratory and descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, using Bardin’s data triangulation strategy and Content Analysis. Eight Community Councils participated in the study. The analysis of the collected data resulted in five thematic categories for discussion: Public Policies; Tuberculosis control; Infrastructure; Actions by Community Councils; Difficulties in the performance of Community Councils. It was identified that the Community Councils are potent devices of social control and dialogue for health in the prison system. In this way the presence of health professionals as effective members of Community Councils could qualify the actions focused at the health of prisoners and the professionals of these institutions.
