Since the emergence of the feminist movement in Brazil in the 1970s, there has been growing interest in formulating public policies focused on gender equality, highlighting its relevance in the historical context of Alagoas society. This research covers the period 2000 to 2020, taking into account data from the National Penitentiary Department (DEPEN), which demonstrates an increase of approximately 444% in the female incarcerated population, representing a historic increase in the state of Alagoas between 2007 and 2014. According to the report entitled "National Survey of Penitentiary Information - INFOPEN Women," the number of women deprived of liberty in the state rose from 62 in 2007 to 337 in 2014, demonstrating that, proportionally, female incarceration has grown more than male incarceration. Thus, the study seeks to understand the situation of women deprived of liberty and their post-incarceration trajectories, highlighting the role of women's labor in promoting social transformation. Furthermore, education is highlighted as a fundamental element in the social reintegration of these women, constituting a determining factor in civic development, the development of the teaching-learning process, and the advancement of society. In this context, education represents the formative foundation for women deprived of liberty in the state of Alagoas, directly contributing to their professional qualifications and expanded opportunities in the job market. To achieve its proposed objectives, this study adopts a descriptive methodological approach based on bibliographic and documentary research. This historiographical analysis highlights the relevance and impact of public policies that combine work and education as fundamental strategies for building better living conditions for women released from the Alagoas prison system.ptAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilHistória de AlagoasMulheres – TrabalhoMulheres – Reintegração socialMulheres - Pós-cárcere - AlagoasMulheres - EducaçãoWomen - WorkWomen - Social reintegrationWomen - Post-prison - AlagoasTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIA
