This study investigates - in the direction of ensuring the human right to health - the latest research on the profile of the Brazilian prison population and its demography, in addition to the existing laws and regulations. The Brazilian prison system set up in a complex universe the state and federal criminal contexts remain in custody more than 607,000 people whose profile is 75% of young, black, 67% with low education and 41% of pre-trial detainees, living in overcrowded prisons and architecturally vandalized, with population growth of around 575% in 24 years, making this environment a major focus of production diseases. The prison becomes the object of differentiated intervention by public bodies linked to the executive and the judiciary - in order that the data show the high degree of inequalities and health vulnerabilities among the prison population, whose needs involve a set of intersectoral action of transverse public policies to their own penal execution.
