This study aimed to analyze scientific publications on online data platforms about the Covid-19 in the population deprived of freedom. This is an integrative review of qualitative approach, where articles were searched in online databases Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs, using the descriptors Covid-19, Prisons/Prisons, Nursing and Brazil. Thirteen studies were analyzed, from which it was discussed how to face the pandemic in the prison system, reflecting on the attributions of nursing in this scenario. It was observed that measures such as decarceration, restriction of visits and health education were some of the interventions adopted in these environments, with ample possibility of action of the nursing team in these places. We conclude that the pandemic in the prison system is a public health challenge and that there is a lack of scientific evidence involving the population deprived of freedom, requiring greater efforts of the scientific community focused on this population.
