Women and men still do not share the same opportunities at work, whether in terms of practical (salary, promotion) or subjective (recognition, equality) aspects. The sexual division of labor is still a reality and its consequences, hierarchization and injustice perpetuate relations of inequality between genders. This division has been accentuated in work spaces where activities are “traditionally” carried out by the male gender, as in the case of prison security forces, in the work of prison inspectors, for example. This inequality can have repercussions on the relationships between family and work, featuring harmful effects on the physical, mental and emotional health of women and men. Brazil and Mexico have similar historical and social aspects, even similar in prison statistics – Brazil is the first in the ranking in terms of prison population in Latin America and Mexico, the second. Based on these assumptions, the objective of this research was to analyze the relationships between gender, work-family conflict and health dimensions, such as fatigue, burnout, anxiety, stress and depression in workers in the Brazilian and Mexican prison system. To this end, three studies were undertaken, which involved a mixed, quantitative and qualitative methodology, operationalized by a survey-type study and group work with working women in the Mexico City prison system. Overall, the three studies demonstrate that the constructs are correlated in the two samples. Note, however, that the prediction varies in terms of hierarchy, that is, the variables that explain the model are in different order of influence in some contexts, which will be explained below. Gender appears as a relevant dimension in the relationship between the constructs, especially for the time dimension in the direction of FIT (family interfering in work) of the CTF (work-family conflict). Gender also influences the characterization of illness in this population, men fall ill more significantly in the physical aspects and women in the emotional aspects. Therefore, the emergence of more studies that encompass the relationship between gender and other constructs in prison inspectors is confirmed.
