The objective was to identify the access to information about psychoactive substances and their consumption by prison agents. This is a qualitative and exploratory study. It was carried out in a public jail in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil between August and September of 2017, through a semi-structured interview. It was observed that professionals, for the most part, use psychoactive substances, exclusively alcohol and tobacco, with low consumption. Among the most used media, electronics prevailed.

The inclusion of educational activities in this service will allow the information about these substances, as well as other important contents of the institutional daily or transmitted in the media, to positively impact the quality of life of this group.
