This study aims at recovering the historical process of insertion of education in Brazilian prisons since the foundation of the first “Casa de Correção da Corte” in Rio de Janeiro until the publication of the latest legal guidelines that regulate school education in deprivation spaces and restriction of freedom. For this, we used the method of theoretical revision and the consultation of historical Brazilian laws to contemplate the proposed objectives. The results point to five significant periods in the history of school education in prison institutions: the imperial period, the Juscelino Kubitschek government, the Military Dictatorship, the 1988 Constitution, and the contemporary period, which marks the beginning of this century. Throughout history, education has gone from religious to technical, from technical to compulsory and from compulsory to a constituted right.
Keywords: history of education in prisons, teaching in prisons, education in the imperial prisons.
