Como resultado, constatamos a construção paulatina, contínua e desafiadora da prática do psicólogo no sistema prisional paulista, influenciada e protagonizada por diversos atores envolvidos na elaboração e referência das atribuições profissionais. Essa prática profissional é traduzida por diversas atribuições, objetivos e diferentes sujeitos de atenção do psicólogo no sistema prisional e judiciário. Conhecer a prática profissional do psicólogo e os questionamentos atuais sobre essa prática, nos possibilita desvelar e refletir sobre a contribuição da Psicologia, num contexto social e econômico desigual e excludente, marcado por um sistema seletivo de segurança, justiça e punição
