The Brazilian prison system has suffering overcrowding and this reflects directly on the health condition of the prison population, and aggravated by socio-economic, cultural and behavioral factors. In this sense, through a literature review this study aimed to examine how happens to health care in that setting and the formulation and implantation of the National Policy for Integral Health Care of Persons Deprived of Liberty in the Prison System (PNAISP). It instituted, among other measures, the formal inclusion of the prison population in the Unified Health System, ensuring that each prison unit is a point of the Care Network Health. The implantation of PNAISP is new, so it’s in structuring and accession it's on process in several municipalities in Brazil. It is a very important policy, though its realization requires the development of actions tha t provide higher quality of life and dignity of persons in prison system.
