The dissertation presented here entitled "Education and Religion in the Criminal Set of Teixeira de Freitas-BA: ways and ways" brings a study and analysis about the routine of inmates of the Criminal Set of Teixeira de Freitas - CPTF - a city located in the Extreme South of Bahia, observing the routine of inmates and the relevance of education and religion to those individuals in the prison unit. In order to better observe the results, the following specific objectives were used: the factors that generated the reclusion of the subjects were investigated; we analyzed the historical and social contexts that contributed to the imprisonment of individuals and their consequences in the field of education and religion; it was verified the importance of education and religion in the life of prisoners, observing if these binomials preceded the prison space. In order to answer these objectives, the following questions were raised: What is the importance of religion and education in the routine of CPTF inmates? Religious practice preceded the CPTF. What factors have contributed to the strengthening of educational and religious practice in the prison environment. On a qualitative basis, the case study was chosen among other methodologies and had as subjects of the research two interns of pavilions "A" and "B" of the CPTF, a sample of 100 (one hundred) questionnaires were applied to the inmates of the " A "and" B ", among other instruments of study and analysis. As a result, in the assessment and discussion of the data it was found that 81% of the respondents stated that attending a religion contributes to the change in the behavior of the victim. It was verified that the religion for the inmates of the CPTF goes beyond the protection to the body, the religious manifestation contributes in a positive way with the emotional aspect of the subjects. It was made sure that education and religion were intrinsic in that environment and that this eventually became necessary for the survival of both. Education overcame the interest for remission and appears as a certainty of achievements outside the walls and can be verified from the approval results of CPTF students in Universities. There was also a constant search for the school, as well as a regular attendance of the inmates to the classes offered. The Prison Unit offers, from literacy to preparation for the National High School Examination - ENEM. The theoretical contribution that permeated the study was established among other theorists, Paulo Freire; Rubem Alves; Carlos Rodrigues Brandão; Michel Foucault; Gilberto Dimenstein.
