This research aim to characterizes the coexistence of juvenile offenders with employees from a treatment facility, from the juvenile offenders' perspective. Interviews were conducted with ten juvenile offenders, between 16 and 18 years old, at a treatment facility in Porto Alegre and data were treated based on thematic analysis. The main employees function was understood as security. Participants identified hostile and authoritarian relations, which result in a conflicted living far from the pedagogical proposal foreseen to treatment facilities. They also described positive relations which provided emotional support and fostered their integral development. Investments in permanent education for professionals and optimization of the positive relationships may favor the educational process at treatment facilities.
