Encarceramento em massa: um projeto de controle e extermínio das mulheres negras

Abstract

Brazil occupies the 3rd place in the world ranking of countries with the largest prison population, being among the main ones that most incarcerate predominantly black and poor people. This work intends to denounce the project of mass incarceration of the black population by the racist Brazilian Justice System, which acts through liberal policies of extermination and control of these bodies, through the total retention of their freedom. Evidencing as the main state tool the Law n° 11.343/06, known as “War on Drugs”, which institutionalizes the violation of rights and criminal selectivity, having as victims, mainly, young black working class women. The research analyzed data provided by INFOPEN to draw a profile of these women deprived of their liberty. In addition to the theoretical dialogue with writers who approach the relationship between mass incarceration and the Brazilian racial problem. It appears that this abandonment to the black population by the State, family and Society, through prison, is the reproduction of the structural racism prevailing in the history of Brazil, which intensifies inequalities and naturalizes violence against the black population.
