The Brazilian Constitution supports our aspirations as a society based on the democratic rule of law, promoting social progress with respect for fundamental rights and human dignity. In this sense, places of deprivation of liberty should seek a socializing and humanizing ideal based on the guarantee of rights. However, prisons are still a universe marked by the absences, ambivalences, and contradictions of a society whose political and economic power ignores and excludes people, keeping them in a situation of vulnerability. This article aims to problematize the process of training carried out with teachers who work in the prison system, analyzing the formulation of other pedagogies for other subjects. To this end, we carried out a study based on the precepts of (auto)biographical research, in which the subjective aspects and the place of speech of these actors are of great importance, seeking the intercessions between the stories narrated and the social context in which they live. As a result, the teachers interviewed allowed us to perceive the processes of recognition, identity, conflict, and pedagogy involved in prison education, and we conclude that there is a need to deepen and develop actions that recognize the complexity of the educational processes of professionals who deal with the reality of prison daily.
