In this process, incarceration systems were – and can still be – a key element in the preservation of racial, class, and gender hierarchies. In recent decades, extensive research has sought...

Os impérios coloniais criaram um sistema de poder baseado na supremacia masculina-branca em todas as esferas da sociedade, nesse processo os sistemas de encarceramento foram – e podem ainda ser – um elemento-chave na manutenção das hierarquias raciais, de classe e de género. Nas últimas décadas, uma extensa pesquisa tentou expor como o sistema de encarceramento tem uma relação íntima com o racismo estrutural. Além disso, a Guerra às Drogas reforça ainda mais esses efeitos nos países latino-americanos. No Brasil, de 2010 a 2014, o encarceramento de mulheres teve um crescimento de 567% (World Prison Brief, 2015). Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar brevemente, por meio de uma abordagem interdisciplinar, qual o papel do género e da raça nesse processo e apontar como os legados coloniais atuam ainda hoje no sistema judiciário e penal brasileiro.

description Colonial empires establish their system of power based on white male supremacy across all spheres of society.
