Brazilian penitentiary policies were developed by men and for men, with systematic gender
violence being a reality of incarcerated women, as they are deprived of rights, such as maternity,
sexuality, family life and basic hygiene. On that account, this research addresses the issue of
Restorative Justice as a viable alternative for the empowerment of women deprived of liberty,
given the impossibility and dehumanization perpetrated by the prison environment. Thus, it
presents as general objective the understanding and debating the impacts resulting from the
application of Restorative Justice, through peacemaking circles, with women incarcerated at
the Women's Recovery Center (CRF) in Santarém/PA, applying the methodology of participant
observation along to the mentioned circles. Hence, this study consists in applied research, with
an exploratory focus and a qualitative approach. At the same time, semi-structured interviews
were also carried out, with open questions, these being with 4 (four) inmates and 2 (two)
servants of the women's prison in Santarém. Throughout this dissertation, the potential of
Restorative Justice was demonstrated in transforming relational, structural, institutional, and
cultural violence, reaching debates on social justice, racism, gender violence and their
intersectionalities, with a view to social and individual co-responsibility, damages reparation,
building fair relationships, restoring (interpersonal/community) bonds, treating trauma, and
preventing future violence. As a result of the introduction of peacemaking circles in the
women's penitentiary of Santarém, the construction of a safe and respectful space for dialogue
and interaction between incarcerated women was observed, creating a haven for them to address
their stories of abuse, traumas, and feelings, providing opportunities for healing, selfforgiveness, embracement, resignification of memories and violence, support and support and
empowerment. In addition, the circles also favored the creation of a feeling of sisterhood,
solidarity and empathy between the women participating in the circles, providing identification,
inclusion, connection, and healthy and respectful relationships between the inmates, and
between them and the penitentiary employees. Finally, it concluded that the circles were able
to, to some extent, humanize the female prison system of Santarém, enabling the redefinition
of sentences and the prison environment.
