The text presents an interview with Luigi Giuseppe Barbieri Ferrarini, who analyzes the historical formation of the Brazilian penal system, marked by exclusionary rationalities inherited from slavery and eugenics. The interviewee argues that eugenic practices and discourses remain active in contemporary criminal policies, whether through penal populism, criminological examination, or proposals for biopolitical control over vulnerable populations. He defends the urgency of non-punitive models in light of the failure of mass incarceration and points to the suspension of political rights and fines as mechanisms of citizen exclusion. Ferrarini highlights the role of IBCCRIM in the critical formation of criminal sciences and emphasizes the importance of rigorous historical study, listening, and interdisciplinary research for young researchers.
