Abstract
This paper aims to show how the nourishment of female prisoners happens in Madre Pelletier Women’s Penitentiary, located in Porto Alegre. Assuming that the taste varies according to social class in which the person has been created or live, this paper tries to find out if the right to material assistance, in other words, the nourishment of female prisoners is being respected by the state. Then, from a field research, and with observations and interviews conducted in May 2012 with the responsible nutritionist, prisoners working in the kitchen, prison officials and the judge who oversees law House, it was observed the quality and quantity of food, besides the hygiene of the place where the food is prepared and the way it is served. It is noticed that the female prisoners do not report complaints about the food, not even about the quality or quantity. They also do not complain about the hygiene of the kitchen, or the preparation of the dishes. This situation, differentiated in relation to a paternal prison system is also recognized by the judge. Thus, it can be affirmed that the food system, in this House, respects the human rights of people deprived of their liberty.
