The identification of risk groups is essential for the establishment of prevention, screening, containment and treatment strategies. In Brazil, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in prisons have been a problem for a long time that facilitates infection diseases. Objective: To reflect on the vulnerability of the prison population to COVID-19 and the implications of possible outbreaks in public health Method: Theoretical-reflective study. Results: The prison population has a high clinical vulnerability to contamination by COVID-19. This is aggravated by the structural conditions of prisons, which increases the spread of diseases, especially respiratory conditions, and hinders the establishment of preventive measures. The health care strategies of this population are still insufficient. Conclusion: Outbreaks of COVID-19 in prisons affect prisoners, staff and family members, and could lead the health system to an unprecedented collapse. Strategies to reduce the impact of COVID-19 in prisons and its impact on public health are urgent. Priority health measures, contingency protocols and coordinated actions between the health and justice sectors must be implemented in order to minimize the spread of the virus in this vulnerable and invisible population.Felipe Rech OrnellSilvia Chwartzmann HalpernJuliana Nichterwitz SchererBarbara Sordi StockMarcio Wagner CamattaRenata Maria DottaCarla DalboscoLisia von DiemenFelix Henrique Paim KesslerUniversidade de Santa Cruz do Sularticleprisonscovid-19infectious diseasespandemicpublic healthMedicineRInternal medicineRC31-1245Infectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216PTRevista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção, Vol 11, Iss 1 (2021)
