Reporting the procedures and challenges of a study, rather than a simple formality, is an important way to contribute to the improvement and strengthening of different manners of doing research. Thus, this article sought to describe the method used in a research which aimed to understand the meanings attributed to paternity by men who are deprived of freedom, as well as discuss the challenges and possibilities of fieldwork conducted in a male-only prison institution. Among the many possibilities of choice, the qualitative methodology of ethnographic orientation supported the research described here, since it was considered an important tool for us to deconstruct potential social patterns, conceptions and ideas about how people lead and live their lives.

Keywords : Prison; Fatherhood; Qualitative research; Methodology.
