This research analyses how the Public Defender of Pará is performing in regard to the social rights of women who are incarcerated in headquarters of criminal enforcement as from the law nº 054 de 2006. In order to this aim, the research feats the sentenced women profiles and verifies how the Public Defender performance through the judicial and extra judicial procedures are contributing to the social vulnerability decrease and to the enlargement of the incarcerated women’s social, economic and cultural capital. This study uses the concepts of habitus; field; economic capital; cultural capital; the symbolic power of Bourdieu; the poverty criminalization idea of Loic Wacquant and, Joan Scott, to the gender concept. Methodologically, the research is classified as a case study in the State of Pará with data collection during October and November (2012), and which has the following Recovery Centers as locus of research: CRF (Ananindeua); CRAMA (Maraba) and CRASHM (Santarém); allowing comparisons between them. The research uses both quantitative approach with a questionnaire to all the volunteers women (202 of the universe of 275 incarcerated and sentenced women) and analysis reports. This study also has realized a descriptive analysis of the obtained data, EXCEL and SPSS.17, during the preparing of graphs, tables and inferential analysis (chi-square test of independence). As the qualitative approach, this one has used the semi-structured interview applied to the public defenders and to the local group in CRF, counting on the posterior triangulation of data; concluding that the incarcerated women represent a vulnerable group with low economic, cultural and social capital, facing difficulty to the health access. The access to justice is not fully effected either, in regard to their social rights, which were only partially accorded through individual lawsuits and administrative actions, without the use of judicial collective or constitutional actions, being both the participation on public policies and the network acting too small.
