The theme of prisons and education is a field on the rise which is being studied more and more and has been acquiring greater visibility. It is believed that including this research in the list of studies about the incarcerated population can contribute to the understanding of this site, as well as value the incarcerated individuals by emphasizing their humanity. In addition, it is also believed to be extremely important to unveil the feminine universe present inside these walls and behind these bars, giving a voice to women who are both oppressed and discriminated against. In this way, the current research seeks to understand the specificities of education inside correctional institutions; envisage how classes are organized, the motivations women have for continuing their studies while inside the prison, and their academic trajectories; and finally to verify, with the notions of resistance and adaptation as parameters, these women s conceptions of education and identify aspects that can lead to their development. In order to achieve its objectives, the research was carried out in two different women s correctional facilities in the state of São Paulo using two distinct procedures: one through field observation and field notes taken while visiting together with a religious institution and the other realized after approval from the State Penitentiary Administration s Ethics Committee, making use of field notes and audio recordings of 13 women. Information obtained through field notes and interview transcripts were used for analysis and two categories for analysis were established. After analyzing the results, it could be perceived that school, as it is organized within the women s penitentiaries studied, occupies a marginalized position with few investments, lacking teaching materials, adequate spaces and prepared teachers. In addition, another critical point is that a prison education has a lighter course load. In this way, the lack of motivation that women feel towards going to school can be related to their life histories, where education has occupied a peripheral position, generating little meaning for them, with work being historically more highly valued, and it can be inferred that the prison contributes to this lack of academic motivation due to its precarious infrastructure and the possibility for redemption which is still incipient and disorganized . It was possible to verify that these women continue to be alienated at all times, demonstrating their objectives as being fiscal freedom instead of autonomy and emancipation. In this way, it is possible to note that the women only adapt to the ways of the prison without showing signs of resistance; what can clearly be seen in all of the women is a strong motivation to leave the prison and return to their countries, in the case of foreigners, and their families. Following this logic, work and education present themselves as being the main instruments for fighting against idleness. Finally, it can be perceived that a location destined for punishment cannot provide individuals with the possibility for readaptation / resocialization , but instead is a place for the promotion of prejudices and barbarities, which, in the case of women, is potentized by the position women have historically occupied: they should be affable, docile and, above all, submissive. In this way, it can be verified that the identity of the imprisoned women is tangled up in their own and society s prejudices, since they are considered incapable of carrying out their duties (as mothers, women, wives). Their identities continue to be marked by the replication of the traditional, chauvinistic culture, accentuated by these women s attitudes towards life and the drug trade.
