Abstract:

This article aims to analyze the process of dispensing of medicine in prisons. A qualitative study was carried out in seven penitentiaries in the state of Paraíba, with 13 health professionals and 43 persons deprived of liberty using essential / strategic medicines, in the periodFebruary to August 2016. The results were categorizedthe perspective of the Bardin content analysis and three categories emerged: medicine storage location in the prison system, delivery process in the prison system and sanitary responsibilities with pharmaceutical assistance. It is concluded that the lack of pharmacies, the legal non-compliance with regard to the presence of the professional with skill and technical competence to perform the dispensation, focusing on the quality / safety standards and the relevance of the guidelines related to the use and storage, associated to lack of clarity in the definition of health responsibilities of managersthe government, are factors that compromise the policy since they increase the investment, but do not guarantee the pharmaceutical assistance in the prison system.
