The research addresses the daycare centers in women's penitentiaries in Brazil, focusing on academic production and the legal dimension. The general objective is to analyze academic production and the legal dimension of daycare centers in women's penitentiaries in Brazil and its specific objectives are: to discuss female incarceration and motherhood in prisons; analyze scientific production on daycare centers in women’s penitentiaries; analyze the legal aspects that govern daycare centers in women’s penitentiaries in Brazil. The methodology used is the State of Knowledge, combining detailed bibliographic review, documentary analysis with an emphasis on socio-legal aspects and the use of quantitative data from the National Penitentiary Department Information System (SISDEPEN). During the development of the study, not only a low academic production was observed, but also a diversity of approaches, highlighting discrepancies in the analyzes on the impact of prison conditions on children's development. Some research identifies a substantial impact of these conditions, while others address this aspect in less detail. Furthermore, the importance of inmates' resocialization was highlighted unevenly in different works, with some productions emphasizing it as a way of improving children's lives, while others focus more on educational aspects and child development. Academic analyzes provide a comprehensive and diverse view of the challenges of female incarceration, motherhood, and child development in prison settings. Although there is convergence in terms of central concerns, the discordant factors highlight the inherent complexity of these issues, underlining the importance of a multifaceted and collaborative approach to addressing these challenges.
