Abstract

Historically black and indigenous population’s freedom was deprived in Brazil by the European colonial project as well as the one’s of their offspring over the forthcoming centuries, above all, through new technologies of social control and segregation like incarceration based on an update of racial subsidies. That said, this work aims to investigate the encarceration of teenagers in the big island of São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, mainly, towards black and brown teenagers in order to understand its dynamics through management and inspection documents of socioeducational mesures in an enclosed environment. In conclusion, it has been noticed a selectiveness towards black and brown poor teenagers and their families who become targets of the Juvenile Justice System. That reality is not only local, but spread alongside the whole country as a national policy for teenagers in conflict with the law, which reflects the maintanance of encarceration as a practice of social control, and, consequently, the need of confronting that issue by means of the historical reparation, by pointing up clues for abolitionist practices currently.
