This study sought to describe the Education for women in deprivation of liberty and the phenomenon proved in essence, the fragility of the prison environment to comply with the laws and the rights of inmates in regard to education. For even if guaranteed by law education in prisons shown timid in its application and to an exclusive system it has become more a privilege than a right. The lack of servers, classrooms without structure, own security issues are factors that contribute to the fragility of that education.
