-- The reality of women deprived of their freedom in the Peruvian penitentiary system is complex, adverse and devoid of genre approach. The penal establishment of Chorrillos - I is the most populated female prison in Peru, with precarious, uncertain and overcrowding conditions of habitability. The judicial proceedings are lengthy. The access to the specialized health services is limited, occupational programs are directed at classic roles and promotion of alternative measures for depriving of freedom is vanished. Objective: to elaborate recommendations of mental health to the penitentiary policy since the information offered by the interviewees. Methodology: qualitative with semi structured interviews applied to sixteen deprived women of freedom, directed at exploring: their mood state, the antecedents of traumatic events, evolution of theirs affective bonds; perception of vulnerability or mistreat and the development of social and labor activities inside the penitentiary. Recommendations are expressed in a proposal for program on penitentiary mental health. Results: the interviewees revealed aspects of their injured mental health and worrisome conditions inside the prison. Four inmates showed signs of severe depression and ten of them had history of traumatic experiences in their childhood. Only two of them had couple and the smaller children of seven inmates did not live nor received support of their father. Ten women told they had been mistreated by the prison staff. They identified limitations in the labor and social performance inside the prison. Conclusion: the Peruvian penitentiary policy must include within its priorities the mental health attention of women deprived of freedom, considering the importance of gender differences in the process of an effective resocialization.
