It deals with the meeting with prisoner in the search for the rescue of the human being dignity, discovering the being that finds annulled by backwards of the prison. The current debate on the prisoners in Brazil has as focus the creation of efficient strategies in the combat to the criminal acts, not being worried in understanding the historical and social conditions in the context in which such acts develop. Our objective was to reach an understanding of the experience of the prisoner in the situation of freedom deprivation in Natal (RN) city. Its significant social relevance meets in emphasized thematic which intends to be revealing of the not-said one of these citizens. The epistemological space and the vision of adopted human being support in the humanist ideas of the Centered Approach in the Person and construct self, central nucleus of the personality theory proposal by Carl Rogers. We opt to the phenomenological method as way of access to the singularity of the experience of each one of the participants, supporting us in the strategy of the narrative as expression of the lived world. The results had pointed that the investigated experience is through suffering, that is, the way to be in the world of prisoner in the situation of freedom deprivation is felt by him/her as difficult to support. This reality is had by him/her as difficult to control, having a negative emotional repercussion for the self, leading the citizen to the alienation of his/her existential flow in these circumstances. The reflections produced in this work take us to consider that the punishment practices on behalf of a normalization of the behavior, linked to the recovery idea, do not meet to the intention of the arrests, that come demonstrating to the inefficacy of the objectives shown in the law as well as the loss of the human being dignity / Esta pesquisa resultou de indaga??es surgidas a partir de nossa experi?ncia de trabalho como psic?loga numa institui??o penitenci?ria do estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Trata do encontro com o apenado na busca pelo resgate da dignidade humana, desvelando o ser que se encontra anulado por tr?s das grades. O debate atual sobre o apenado no Brasil tem como foco a cria??o de estrat?gias eficientes no combate aos atos criminosos, n?o estando preocupado em compreender as condi??es sociais e hist?ricas presentes no contexto no qual tais atos se desenvolvem. Nosso objetivo foi alcan?ar uma compreens?o da experi?ncia do apenado na situa??o de priva??o de liberdade na cidade de Natal (RN). Sua significativa relev?ncia social encontra-se na tem?tica abordada que pretende ser reveladora do n?o-dito desses sujeitos. O espa?o epistemol?gico e a vis?o de ser humano adotados ap?iam-se nas id?ias humanistas da Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa e no constructo self, n?cleo central da teoria de personalidade proposta por Carl Rogers. Optamos pelo m?todo fenomenol?gico como via de acesso ? singularidade da experi?ncia de cada um dos participantes, apoiando-nos na estrat?gia da narrativa como express?o do mundo vivido. Os resultados apontaram que a experi?ncia investigada ? de sofrimento, ou seja, que o modo de estar no mundo do apenado na situa??o de priva??o de liberdade ? sentido por ele como dif?cil de suportar. Essa realidade ? tida por ele como dif?cil de controlar, tendo uma repercuss?o emocional negativa para o self, conduzindo o sujeito ? aliena??o de seu fluxo vivencial nestas circunst?ncias. As reflex?es produzidas neste trabalho nos levam a considerar que as pr?ticas de puni??o em nome de uma normaliza??o da conduta, ligada ? id?ia de recupera??o, n?o atendem o prop?sito das pris?es, que v?m demonstrando a inefic?cia dos objetivos positivados na Lei bem como a perda da dignidade humana
