SUMMARY:

This thesis addresses the Brazilian socioeducational system based on the framework established by the Constitution (1988), reinforced by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) and the National System for Socio-Educational Assistance (SINASE). Using the empirical case of the Federal District, we aim to construct a local institutional analysis aligned with the historical understanding of child and youth institutionalization. Our approach starts with the inescapable evidence of socio-education as a public policy targeting Black youth. Structurally shaped by racial variables, we observe institutional adaptations throughout the 20th century that perpetuate control through parallels to the adult prison system. Thus, despite notable advancements under the paradigm of comprehensive protection, we conclude that the contemporary socio- educational proposal continues to uphold the exclusionary and punitive purposes aimed at the Black population, echoing its colonial origins. Grounded in critical readings, we argue that inequality and class struggle are also reproduced in the racial dynamic, embedded in social mechanisms of control, exclusion, and extermination. In this context, the study identifies the instrumentalization of violence against Black youth, linking race, poverty, and the periphery to the discourse of the "War on Drugs." Through discussions on "punitive chaining," we examine the interaction and alternation of institutional roles within punitive trajectories. Regarding the decline in the number of adolescents deprived of liberty over the past decade, such policies remain loyal to the described profile, markedly distant from middle- and upper-class white youth. Furthermore, the research found that the socioeducational measure of incarceration lacks purpose and educational intent, highlighting its neutralizing and disciplinary nature. This reinforces the need to analyze these policies through alternative epistemologies, recognizing the colonial residue that frames and sustains the racialization of Brazilian incarceration. While socio-education is entrenched in the guarantee of rights, the debate must confront the contradictions of these policies, which, in practice, exonerate whiteness and reinforce control over Black bodies. Therefore, beyond mere survival in the prison system, resistance must challenge the white pact.
