In addition, it aims to reflect on the gender inequality existing in the Brazilian prison system, as well as an analysis of house arrest as an alternative to avoid the impact generated on the child that is taken from the mother's interaction early. Thus, an analysis will be carried out on the current situation of women's prisons, as well as research on Brazilian legislation dealing with the subject and determine whether these laws are, in fact, being complied with in practice. It was used in this article in order to deepen, the use of bibliographic and qualitative research to understand the reality of imprisoned motherhood in Brazil.Acesso AbertoMaternidadeCárcerePrisões femininasMulheresMaternityPrisonFemale prisonsWomenTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCiências Sociais AplicadasDireito
