This dissertation presents research developed in the education of individuals deprived of liberty, focusing on the construction of identities and critical reflections through mathematics teaching. The research, grounded in Critical Mathematics and Ethnomathematics, seeks to understand how contextualized pedagogical practices can contribute to the resocialization process of individuals deprived of liberty, especially through the valorization of culture and racial identity. The methodology adopted is autobiographical narrative, in which the researcher recounts her teaching experiences in a prison unit, articulating memory, affection, and pedagogical practice. The proposed activities, developed in accordance with the BNCC (Brazilian National Curricular Framework), explore themes such as art, ancestry, and resistance, promoting meaningful and humanizing learning. The results indicate that mathematics, when mediated by critical and culturally sensitive practices, can become an instrument of emancipation, reflection, and identity reconstruction in the context of incarceration.
