Abstract: This research aimed to strengthen knowledge about institutional biopolitical power and to describe strategies to develop social justice and human rights. The methodology used was qualitative in approach, but as a tool or instrument. Qualitative techniques were used through a critical review of the literature on biopolitical theories, in order to find patterns on how they are applied in the institution. Five key elements were found in their application: institutional control and regulation, management of subjectivities and behaviors, administration of resources and capacities, optimization technologies and control and regulation of life trajectories. The study found that biopolitics functions as a tool to regulate key social dimensions such as health, education and security.
