Abstract

The objective of this study was to present the profile of women deprived of their liberty in a public chain in the middle region of Mato Grosso. This was a cross-sectional survey with a quantitative approach carried out in 2017. A semi-structured questionnaire containing open and closed questions was applied to 57 women with individual interviews, later the data systematized in electronic spreadsheets and analyzed by the SPSS version 20.0. The predominant profile self-reported by the participants was brown (73.7%), aged between 18 and 31 (56.2%), incomplete elementary school (56.2%), housewives (38.6%), (47.4%), with up to 4 children (82.5%), arrested for the crime of drug trafficking (54.4%) and with imprisonment for up to two years (82.5%). The profile described reflects the relationship between the population with greater socioeconomic fragility, insertion in crime through the partner and drug trafficking as a search for income. In this sense is necessary the elaboration of intersectional public policies that allow the reduction of social and gender inequalities and the insertion of women since their childhood in environments that enhance the quality of life.
