The aim of the research reported in this paper was to analyze the discursive productions about health/illness related to male prisoners within a deprivation of liberty regime. The research was developed in a maximum-security prison complex in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen men who are involved with labor opportunities within the prison unit. For the analysis, we relied on theoretical and methodological approach of discursive practices, allowing the construction of three lines of discussion: 1) produced discourses on health; 2) how men deal with care practices in everyday life; and 3) what they say about the prospect of change in the provision of health care in prisons. The discussions indicate that the hegemonic model that constitutes masculinity has had negative consequences on the health of the interviewed men, with direct consequences to the development of health care practices
