- Abstract
Objective: To understand how the female inmates of a public jail are provided with access to health services. Methods: This is a descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, developed in the female public jail of a municipality in the northern region of Mato Grosso, Brazil, with 15 women deprived of their liberty. Data collection was carried out in October 2016, through a semi-structured interview, when the statements were recorded and later transcribed for content analysis in the Thematic Analysis modality. Results: Discontentment with the services provided was evidenced, mainly due to the absence of human and material resources necessary for health care in incarceration. Referral to municipal services is only performed in urgent/emergency situations, being carried out with use of an escort, which is often limited due to the small contingent of available professionals. Conclusion: The difficulty in access expresses the iniquities to which this population is exposed, limiting the actions of promotion and prevention, making the access restricted to treating diseases and injuries in a severe and acute stage, in which the attention is exclusively directed to the healthcare assistance.
