Sumario:The present essay seeks to problematize the relationship between over-incarceration in Brazil and the increase in torture practices by the repression apparatus of the Brazilian State. Its material basis is the forms of poverty management used since the capital crisis. It is understood that such consecrated forms of poverty management have particularities that cannot be neglected in Brazilian society, given its social formation of dependent capitalism marked by bourgeois autocracy and structural racism. To this end, we problematize the repositioning of the class struggle in recent decades, the role played by the criminal system in capitalism and its forms in contemporary Brazil. In this sense, we used research and statistical data that indicate the relationship between over-incarceration and worsening torture.
