Abstract

The present work addresses the importance of prison libraries in spaces for prisoners and their impact on the prisoners' resocialization process. Given this premise, the research departs from the following general objective of characterizing prison libraries and their theoreticalconceptual aspects, as well as their approach in scientific articles indexed in the Reference Database ofJournal Articles in Information Science (BRAPCI), followed by specific objectives of identifying journals that publish on prison libraries on the platform, verifying the scientific methodology used by the authors in the articles and presentating the contributions of these articles to Information Science. The research is based on a bibliographic review, with a descriptive approach, which analyzes the data on the 24 indexed articles and demonstrates the results. The results indicate that prison libraries are important spaces for access to information and citizenship, contributing to reflection on the role of librarians in the face of new scenarios, in addition to concluding that there is a growth in the discussion on the issue of prison libraries.
