SUMMARY:

Education constitutes a universal right guaranteed by the Brazilian Federal Constitution and represents one of the essential pillars for social development. Through education, individuals gain access to knowledge, develop critical and reflective thinking, broaden their perspectives, and become agents capable of transforming their own trajectories and the context in which they are embedded.

Within the scope of the prison system, the education of persons deprived of liberty is also configured as a right guaranteed by the Penal Execution Law (LEP), playing a central role in the rehabilitation process. The Brazilian prison system has advanced, over recent years, in implementing policies focused on education in its diverse spheres—formal, informal, vocational, continuing, or permanent education mediated by technology—and constitutes a strategic instrument for social reintegration and the full exercise of citizenship.

AVASUS, through the doctoral research of Janaina Luana Rodrigues da Silva Valentim from LAIS/UFRN - Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health, developed a training pathway focused on technology-mediated health education for the prison system. This pathway was carefully structured to encompass the training of correctional police officers, health teams, and also includes a specific module for persons deprived of liberty and their families. In this module, the most prevalent diseases are addressed by specialist health professionals, in addition to featuring the collaboration of justice professionals, correctional police, and other professionals working with health and education in the prison system. The initiative also promotes the participation of persons deprived of liberty, allowing them to express their doubts and curiosities.

Health education constitutes an essential strategy for promoting knowledge, preventing health problems, and strengthening the autonomy of the subjects. Considering that spaces of deprivation of liberty configure a complex environment, permeated by distinct social and educational contexts, an intersectoral and humanized approach is imperative to promote dignity, citizenship, rights, and health, as well as health promotion for all involved in this scenario.
