REVIEW ON THE FEMALE PRISON IN BRAZILIAN STUDIES

Abstract

Brazil is the fourth country with the largest prison population in the world and the number of incarcerated women has been growing rapidly. This narrative review of the literature aims to identify the research of Brazilian universities. We analyzed the characteristics and the general methodologies of 55 studies included in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the research problems of the 17 that obtained the classification A in the evaluation of the 10 items in CASP Checklist, between the decade of 2006-2016. The results presented the majority of qualitative studies, researched in the center-south regions and with intervention strategies. This research contributed to describe the aspects of the female reality in the prison and gave subsidies for the teaching process and intervention of those who act in that reality.
