This study presents the history the establishment of Physical Education at institutions enforcing deprivation of liberty for children and youth in the state of São Paulo. Data were collected through bibliographical review during research for a master’s degree from 2016 to 2018. An analysis of the presence of Physical Education in those institutions since the end of the Nineteenth Century is presented, together with the assumptions that support it today. Physical Education was established in those establishments on the same assumptions that legitimized it in schools: the hygienist movement and the ideal of modern society. In a similar process to that of schools, Physical Education under deprivation of liberty was consolidated through gymnastics practices, having later found sports as the means by which it ‘could’ circumvent juvenile delinquency.
