SUMMARY:

The present work investigates the relationship between lawsuits for drug trafficking and racism. It is part of the field of empirical research in law, using a qualitative approach, also using descriptive statistics, using documentary research and interviews as methods. The corpus comprises 197 processes with 252 defendants, from the three specialized drug courts in Salvador-BA, whose sentences were published from January to June 2020 in the Electronic Justice Gazette. We also have 05 interviews with judges and judges of the Court of Justice of the State of Bahia who work or have worked with legal processes for drug trafficking, in order to directly access how (and if) the judges see racism in these types of processes, as well as what they think about the context of the “war on drugs”. When carrying out the analysis, it was noticed that the people who respond to this type of process are almost exclusively young, black, poor, and poorly educated men. It was found that the dynamics of action of punitive power and secondary criminalization (by the police) occur mainly in the city's black neighborhoods. The statistical balance of these processes has as its main conclusion the finding of a drug repression policy largely based on the actions of the Military Police, with little previous investigation, based on flagrant acts. There is also low seizure of amounts of money, weapons and even drugs. It was also possible to characterize the judgments that condemn, acquit and disqualify in these processes. Punishment for drug trafficking is the one that most incarcerates black people in Brazil. Amidst the weaknesses found in this study, both with regard to drug legislation, as in concrete cases judged by the Court of Justice of Bahia, notably in relation to the evidentiary elements, the black population continues to have its enjoyment of life limited, or rather, mowed down by the criminal justice system. Under the authorization of the "war on drugs", which, as found in this research, is a war against black people and peripheral territories, the Judiciary Branch has not exercised its constitutional role of guaranteeing rights, functioning as an organ that reiterates and endorses control and segregation of the black population.
