Abstract
The study aimed to analyze the care of people with mental disorders in conflict with the law from the perspective of managers and health professionals. This is a qualitative case study conducted in January 2020 with 10 professionals working at the Psychiatric Custody and Treatment Hospital of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used. The textual content resulting from the interviews was submitted to lexicographic textual analysis, with the help of the IRAMUTEQ software and data analysis was performed based on pertinent literature. Three categories emerged: Changes in work relationships and impact on care; The organization of the Care Network; and Intra-wall care and barriers to deinstitutionalisation. It is concluded that the care for people with mental disorders in conflict with the law is influenced by work relationships; has difficulties related to the physical structure and dynamics of institutions; it faces obstacles to ensure deinstitutionalization while fragmenting ties and not implementing the Singular Therapeutic Project. However, efforts have been made to articulate the territorial-based care network.
