abstract="OBJECTIVE: To understand the social representations that women deprived of their freedom have of imprisonment, violence, and their consequences. <br><br>METHOD: An exploratory-descriptive qualitative study with 15 women from a female penitentiary in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Semistructured interview was used. Data submitted to thematic content analysis and interpreted under Social Representations. <br><br>RESULTS: Categories identified: &quot;Enclosed and abandoned in the prison environment&quot;: loss of contact with relatives, difficulties living in prison, and right to be reinserted into society. &quot;Imprisoned in a cycle of social inequality&quot;: lack of support, access to education and employment opportunities, leading them to engage in new illicit activities and consequent imprisonment. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The social representations of prisoners suggest that they perceive themselves to be doubly &quot;imprisoned&quot;, either from the objective point of view, as an individual deprived of freedom; or subjective, as citizens who have their rights disrespected and their possibilities of rehabilitation limited by the prison system.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>",
