This article aims to present and discuss the results of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the ethnic and social profile of the inmate population at the prison facility in Uruaçu, Goiás. The study reveals the percentage distribution of different ethnic groups and educational levels among the incarcerated individuals, situating the data within Brazil's historical and social context. The article begins with a theoretical overview of the influence of the coloniality of power on the formation of Brazilian citizenship. It then presents and critically interprets the empirical findings, highlighting the enduring structural effects of racism and social exclusion. Finally, it explores the role of law in promoting citizenship and ensuring civil, political, and social rights, particularly within the prison system. The analysis shows that the persistence of exclusionary structures remains a significant obstacle to the realization of full democratic citizenship.
