The current work is intended to investigate the existence or not of future projects for incarcerated women. Starting from the assumption that the total institutions have as their main characteristic the de- subjectivation of the subject, we sought to analyze the talk of 154 convicts in the uniqueness. Motherhood and family were presented as the lead in the talk of the great majority of those that were interviewed. Religion appeared as an important category in regard to the appropriation that the convicts make of it to minimize the afflictions of the day to day in jail and to establish a friendly companionship with their fellow inmates a with the prison agents. The cult to the body appears as another category in the core of the incarceration experience, since it transforms into a resistant to the massive institutionalization. The future projects are built from the value given to family, motherhood in particular. The religion, particularly the evangelical, is appropriated as the construction of survival tactics inside the prison. The cult to the body appears as escape route to the serialization processes established in the feminine incarceration. As a conclusion we point out the specificity of the feminine incarceration: motherhood. The feminine incarceration hits the survival of the children who, in view of the huge precariousness in which they live, are destined to State shelters, or burocratically sent to blood relatives of the convict. We stress, in this study, the need for building public policies which become responsible for the well-being of the sons ands daughters of incarcerated women.
