The new Penal Code came into force in 1942, along with this, it was established the first directive role to separate men and women in brazilian prisons. The Code determinate, by Art. 29th, in its 2nd paragraph, that: Women have to serve their sentence at especial establishment, or, on its absence, in appropriate section in the penitentiary or common prison. Answering for the Code determination, in 1942, it was inaugurated, on land of States Penitentiary, the Womens Prison (Presídio de Mulheres) in the care of the nuns from the Congregação do Bom Pastor dAngers. The prisons creation was preceded by a debate that was extended for the first years of its establishment and was promoted by penitentiary authorities, politicians, lawyers and doctors. (AU)
