This study aimed to analyze the role of the National Penitentiary Fund (FUNPEN) in the financing of educational activities, in the effort of the Brazilian State to promote the social reintegration of those deprived of liberty in the period from 2014 to 2018. This is a quantitative research. -qualitative based on the analysis of statistical and financial data, on the bibliographical review and documental study of the legal framework that guides the functioning of the penitentiary system and FUNPEN. The research revealed that we have a penitentiary system with precarious, overcrowded prison units, without the structural conditions and human resources necessary to fulfill its role of social reintegration through education. There is a mostly young public with low education, whose funding policy, it has been marked by problems in the inspection, accountability process, the restriction of its resources and the consequent deviations from its purposes to guarantee the government's primary surplus.

Keywords : Deprived of Liberty; Social reinsertion; Prison Education; FUNPEN.
