The results of a multimethod study carried out in the largest female penitentiary in the state of Minas Gerais challenge the premise, often mentioned in the Brazilian literature, that women arrested for drug trafficking have been led to criminality by male influence. They indicate that, while present in the narratives provided by incarcerated women, male influence is not the main reason for their involvement in drug trafficking. Gender, poverty, structural racism, and the selectivity of the criminal justice system are intertwined in the incarceration of women for drug trafficking in this Brazilian prison. Os resultados de um estudo multimétodo realizado na maior penitenciária feminina do estado de Minas Gerais desafiam a premissa, muitas vezes mencionada na literatura brasileira, de que mulheres presas por tráfico de drogas têm sido levadas à criminalidade por influência masculina. Indicam que, embora presente nas narrativas fornecidas pelas mulheres encarceradas, a influência masculina não é o principal motivo de seu envolvimento no tráfico de drogas. Gênero, pobreza, racismo estrutural e a seletividade do sistema de justiça criminal se entrelaçam no encarceramento de mulheres por tráfico de drogas neste presídio brasileiro
