Education is a universal right and plays a crucial role in human development, helping the individual to uild his personality and character. Even when in prison, citizens have the same rights in access to education, which should e appropriate to the demands of the new configurations of contemporary networked society and in this context digital education can enale these goals to e achieved. In Portugal, and as part of a protocol signed etween the Open niversity () and the Directorate General for Reinsertion and Prison Services (DGRSP), an innovative pilot project, the educonline@ pris Virtual Campus, is eing developed, to promote education and training for inmates. It is precisely the functioning of this Virtual Campus, potentialities and limitations that we intend to evaluate, ased on the qualitative analysis of the perceptions and narratives of ten inmates, studying in . The results show, on the one hand, that the implementation of the Campus had a very positive impact on the pedagogical processes developed in the eLearning platform, oth in online access to digital resources and e-learning activities, as well as in the possiility of accessing the different evaluation modalities. On the other hand, we highlight the constraints associated with the poor coverage of the internet network and the limitations related to the impossiility of communicating in the virtual classrooms with the teachers and students of the class, as well as the impossiility of accessing resources linked to external links esides the digital platform, due to access restrictions.
