O encarceramento do negro.

Abstract

Currently, the number of Afro-descendants arrested is higher than the number of imprisoned whites. The objective of this work is to verify the causes that lead a greater number of blacks to prison. Another question to be raised, mentions the way that initiated this process of imprisonment of the black and brown, that is to say, how they arrive until the prison. In view of the fact that currently in our legal system, we only incarcerate someone in two situations, or in flagrant, or by written and reasoned order of a judge, is admissible. In this way, the present work verified data regarding blacks when they arrived in Brazil, since they arrived in the condition of slaves, and they remained in that situation for more than three hundred years, as well as, data referring to the legal order of the time, as well as the current one. Considering that as soon as slavery was over, the black people had been abandoned by the State, since there was no concern to insert him into society. Faced with such situation, the black people was eventually placed on the margins of society. Coupled with other factors that contributed to the black carry with him several stigmas, the result of submission to the white man, like as being, violent, as well as having personality turned to crime, such a vision in relation to him, currently reflects in the imprisonment of the black . Given that the police and the judiciary hold more blacks than whites, such actions are reflections of the differential treatment given to the non-white individual. This differential treatment that the Afrodescendant receives for centuries, and still receives by the state, began with black slavery, and after, settled with racial theories.
