The present work proposed to study the use of psychotropic drugs by people incarcerated in the Brazilian prison system, as this is very high, and what are the possible uses of these drugs within the prison context. A literature review was carried out that identified nine works that were within the inclusion criterial of the research. We sought to understand which public policies in force in the Brazilian Prison System deal with mental health care for incarcerated people. The results show that prisons benefit from the high use of these drugs, as they now have greater control over the behavior of inmates. These, in turn, use the ingestion of psychotropic drugs to face the symptoms generated by the oppressive dynamics of Brazilian prisons, using psychotropic drugs in their favor and creating strategies to survive the conditions of Brazilian prisons. It was concluded that the use of psychotropic drugs in the brazilian prison system goes far beyond the purpose initially imagined in this work, that of social control, and involves forms of resistance and struggle on the part of the inmates
