The present study aimed to understand the effectiveness, or not, of public policies supported by the State of Mato Grosso, in offering the mother and the unborn child adequate treatment, satisfying the physiological and affective needs of the mother and the newborn intramurally, during and after motherhood. To develop the research, bibliographic materials related to Brazilian Legislation, the Penal Execution Law (LEP), studies and scientific articles that define the forms of application of the Criminal Law, to be supported by the State of Mato Grosso to the exercise of motherhood in the prison. To this end, texts from authors such as Angotti (2011), Queiroz (2015) and the Institute of Applied Economic Research (2015) were used. As for the methodology, the research was developed from a deductive perspective, since data pertinent to the situation of female prisons at the national level was first analyzed, and then focused on the analysis of data referring to the state of Mato Grosso. Bibliographical research was used, taking into account the psychological aspects that accompany women during pregnancy and childbirth, in addition to the puerperium period and the consequent separation between mother and child, in addition, it used national and Mato Grosso graphs and statistics, aiming to learn more deeply about public policies aimed at motherhood. With this, it was concluded that, although Brazilian legislation has advanced in recent years, it still lacks specific public policies for women/mothers in the prison system, so that, by neglecting them, they become insufficient and ineffective. , causing the most varied forms of rights violations, corroborating the (in)effectiveness of the rights established in the Brazilian legal system.
