Zusammenfassung:In the last two decades imprisonment and violence have grown sharply in the states of the Brazilian Western Amazon, comprising Rondonia, Acre, Amazonas and Roraima. This article aims to analyze the increase in those numbers between 2005 and 2017. The research uses statistical data analysis and compares the variations of these data over the period, in search of meaningful associations that help to understand why, at the same time that the states of the region became the largest mass incarcerated in the country, crime has not stopped increasing. The results show that increased incarceration has not diminished crime and that without an urgent review of the criminal policy imposed by all institutions of the justice system violence must continue to increase in prisons and on the streets. Keywords: Mass Incarceration; Amazon; Brazilian Western Amazon; Crime; Criminal Policy Nas ultimas duas decadas o encarceramento e a violencia cresceram acentuadamente nos estados da Amazonia Ocidental brasileira, composta por Rondonia, Acre, Amazonas e Roraima. Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar o aumento desses numeros, entre 2005 e 2017. A pesquisa utiliza analise de dados estatisticos e compara as variacoes desses dados ao longo do periodo, em busca de associacoes significativas que ajudem a entender por que, ao mesmo tempo em que os estados da regiao se tornaram os maiores encarceradores em massa do pais, a criminalidade nao parou de aumentar. Os resultados mostram que o aumento do encarceramento nao diminuiu o crime e que sem uma revisao urgente da politica penal imposta por todas as instituicoes do sistema de justica a violencia deve continuar aumentando, nas prisoes e nas ruas.
