This paper presents part of the results of the research entitled “Mothers of the Cárcere: looks at the feminine in the Colônia Feminina de Buíque / PE”, held during the year 2015. Thus, the present article aims to problematize some intersections built on the sense of motherhood in the prison, making up the picture about the conditions of spaces for women, based on an investigated daily. From a qualitative approach, this empirical research articulates some analytical categories extracted from the investigation using the technique of Content Analysis (Bardin, 2002). The results presented in this study indicate that the prison institution studied denies and/or excludes the condition of being a mother/woman in the prison through processes that depersonalize and subordinate their reproductive rights. It is also concluded that motherhood is exercised from mere rules of punishment and/or administration of the prison space, being, both mother and child, the same abject and objectified body in this space. Moreover, the research points out that important instruments for living the reproductive rights of women prisoners, in this case law 11.942/2009, have not reached repercussions in the prison system, and thus, guarantees related to the permanence of the child with the mother, about breastfeeding, preparation and separation between mothers and babies and other basic aspects are instrumented based on the subjectivism of state agents.
