Abstract

This essay addresses the penal system as a technology of the colonial-racial model of relations of power, which exerts a differential distribution of precariousness that dehumanizes entire sections of the population. The research is based on the decolonial studies, as well as on the studies about penal abolitionism, biopolitics and precariousness. In such manner, we will analyze the “INFOPEN mulheres” reports, which reveal a 455% rise in the incarceration of women between 2000 and 2016. This points out a mass incarceration politics that mostly affects the bodies of black women.
