In this paper, we discuss the offer of school education for imprisoned women, seeking to identify, in this offer, reflections of the singularities of the female condition and historically constituted gender inequalities. The State Prison Education Plans of the 26 Brazilian states, available on the website of the Penitentiary Department of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, were analyzed. The analysis of the data brought by that such plans dialogue with reflections and empirical material from other studies on education and gender in the Brazilian prison system. Results indicate advances in the legal field, but point out a long way to go to guaranteeing the right to school education in prison, especially for women: in the different places and types of imprisonment, it is necessary to develop educational processes that do not make women invisible and consider the plots in which gender inequalities intertwine.

Keywords : Gender; Education; Prison system.
