This paper aims to analyze the practice of social worker in the prison system of Rio de Janeiro, from the principles established by the Project Political Ethics of the Profession. The relevance of this study is to place the center of the debate, the challenge for the category, with professional guidance ethical and political commitment to the interests of the working class and the realization of rights thereof, to effect these assumptions in a field of action marked for control and repression of individuals belonging to this class. The prison is a total institution, punitive, vindictive, where we observe the face of tougher state, where often the social worker finds himself alone in defending and enforcing the rights of the prisoner. It serves as a central objective of this study to examine whether within this institution, the social worker can give effect to the values promoted and established by the professional design. For the study we focus on the production theory and history of the prison system, about the specific legislation in the area (Law Enforcement and Criminal Rules of the State Penitentiary in Rio de Janeiro) and on documents, reports, manuals, etc., Prepared by Coordination of Social Service of the State Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration (SEAP). Due to limitations imposed by the institution, the subjects of our study were the managers and former managers who endure in the Coordination of Social Service and the former Division of Social SEAP. Try to recover the historical trajectory of Social Services within the prison system of Rio de Janeiro, highlighting the battles and conquests made by category, over the nearly sixty years of insertion in prisons in Rio de Janeiro. Observed throughout the study that the inclusion of social workers in the prison system is properly institutionalized, regulated and organized, which demonstrates the relevance of the work of these professionals, who often still seen as "benefactor of the prisoner." Today, criminal enforcement may be considered a consolidated area for the professional practice of social workers, but have a number of inconsistencies and discrepancies, such as poor working conditions, violation of rights, among others. We show in this study as the professional social work is facing this reality and contributes to its transformation from the ideals espoused by the Project Political Ethics of the profession.
