This paper addresses, from a gender perspective, the experience of two men and two women inmates at the Centro de Readaptación Social de Pachuca, Hidalgo, taking into account the reference that they explicitly and implicitly make to the gender stereotypes that they have internalized throughout of their lives and that acquire different meanings in the midst of this experience. The source of information is their testimonies that were analyzed in order to reflect on whether the stage of their imprisonment is thought and lived differently by men and women; what these differences consist of; what consequences they suffer, mainly in the personal and family; why is it that for some people it represents one of the worst stages of their life, while for others, it´s liberating or gives them the opportunity to rebuild their lives, and if all this is a function of their gender roles.
