The objective of this study is to analyze the geoepidemiological and temporal context of SARS-Cov-2 infection in Brazilian prison system professionals. This is an epidemiological study of the ecological type with data collected from the Information System of the National Penitentiary Department from June 2020 to January 2022 on the number of cases and deaths of servers working in the prison system in Brazil during the COVID-19. The data were organized and divided into timeframes of the first wave, second wave and beginning of immunization and were tabulated in Google Sheets and incorporated in Jupyter Notebook and QGis. In the first wave, São Paulo (22,054) and Pará (11,989) presented the most cases. As for the number of deaths, São Paulo was the most affected, with 505 deaths. In the second wave, São Paulo (15,836) and Minas Gerais (7,292) presented the highest number of cases and São Paulo (250), most deaths.
