Abstract

The reality of the prison system is quite complex. With regard to the issue of professional education, we are faced with controversy, limitations and challenges. The gainful employment of women under the deprivation of freedom is defined as a prospect of return to social life, but from this process many contradictions that we have identified in the investigative process emerge. The study shows significant results that reflect the social expressions of social inequality, the class condition of these women in conflict with the law, the limits of social policy at the frontiers of capitalism and the various aspects of alienation that limit the prospects for a possible social reinsertion. It is in the context of the analysis of these contradictions that the sense of the labor activity for women inmates in the prison system of the State of Ceará, Brazil, is expressed. Thus, we accumulate information and reflections on the ideas of rehabilitation by professionalization, today considered one of the prospects for social reintegration of prisoners.

Key words: Capitalism; Education; Professionalization; Prison.
