O aumento do encarceramento feminino com a vigência da lei n.11.343/2006, lei de drogas, no Brasil

Abstract

The present article disposes about a study, by means of data collect and articles reading, of the increase of the female incarceration under the law nº 11.343/2006, the Drug Law. In this context, there were analysed the change of the female figure towards the society, leading her to enter the ‘world’ of drug trafficking, identifying social factors that act as boosters for criminal practice discussed in this article, which was accentuated by the advent of the special legislation exposed, given the provision of beneficial institutes to the authors of such conduct. It appears that, given a disproportionate increase in female incarceration, the Brazilian state remains because it does not have capacity to ensure these women their fundamental rights, since it is still a predominantly male system, a fact that causes serious problems for the inmates. Therefore, there is a need for public initiatives aimed at assisting these inmates.
