This is an ecological time series study, based on secondary data with unrestricted accessInstitutional Reports of the Penitentiary System, in addition to informationthe Pará Transparency Web Portal, National Register of Health Establishments (CNES), Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). As a result, there was a population with a majority of young people, blacks and browns, low education and males. The increase, in absolute numbers, of health professionals did not follow the increase in the prison population. The number of medical, dental and psychological consultations varied randomly and outside the limits when entered into statistical control charts. The potential coverage of prison health teams linked to the SUS was a maximum of 45.77%. Health joint efforts did not increase the number of consultations within the prison system. The incidence of tuberculosis was much higher than the average for the state population and its notification shows up adequate. Even working with restricted secondary data, it was possible to launch a wide look at the state\'s prison health, raising issues that should be considered by managers and professionals.
