The prevalence of mental disorders in prisons is a growing phenomenon involving various social actors, the health of persons deprived of liberty and the functioning of penitentiary institutions. The objective of this study is to describe the challenges and strategies implemented by the members of the Technical Committees (TC) to attend, evaluate and monitor the prison treatment of persons deprived of liberty with mental disorders in the CEDES of the state of Tamaulipas. Through semi-structured interviews applied to the personnel of the Technical Committees of state penitentiaries, it was found that one of the main obstacles to the care of this social group is the lack of psychiatrists, as well as specialized personnel for their care; therefore, the staff develops various strategies to meet the requirements of this social group in occupational therapy, primary care and pharmacotherapy. La prevalencia de trastornos mentales en las prisiones es un fenómeno en aumento en el que se encuentran involucrados diversos actores sociales, la salud de las personas privadas de la libertad y el funcionamiento de las instituciones penitenciarias. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo describir los desafíos y estrategias implementadas por los miembros de los Comités Técnicos (CT) para atender, evaluar y dar seguimiento al tratamiento penitenciario de las personas privadas de la libertad con trastornos mentales en los CEDES del estado de Tamaulipas. A través de entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas al personal de los Comités Técnicos de centros penitenciarios del estado, se encontró que uno de los principales obstáculos para la atención de este grupo social es la falta de psiquiatras, así como de personal especializado para su atención; por lo que el personal desarrolla diversas estrategias para cumplir con los requerimientos de este grupo social tanto en terapia ocupacional, cuidados primarios y farmacoterapia.
