This is a theoretical study with a qualitative approach, and contributions in black feminism, which, when considering that there is no hierarchy between the practices of oppression experienced by women, recognizes the urgency of analyzes and reflections on the mass incarceration of black women. The context to be studied, and the theoretical option in Brazilian and North American black feminists, have leapfrogged the interest in a more detailed study of one of the concepts of this social movement, which guided by the invisibility of black woman agenda in feminist debates and on the race debates, proposes intersectionality. At the stage of the research that is dedicated to the understanding of this concept, historical discussions were conducted evidencing that black women were affected by intersectional discrimination even before the concept was outlined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in the 1980s. Presented here are the theoretical discussions of the concept from this North American feminist, Brazilian woman and others who collaborate in the theoretical impetus of intersectionality as analytical sensibility capable of taking from invisibility groups crossed by different practices of oppression. Also, in this discussion, there is a bibliographical survey in the thesis and dissertation bank of CAPES (Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel) amid the years 2005 and 2015 with the descriptor: intersectionality. The researches analysis regarded the number of publications per year, gender and race of the researchers, and the use of intersectionality in different contexts. Entering the intersectional discussion for the mass incarceration of black women, it presents an overview of women's prisons, an instrumental analysis of indicators of the female prison system, and considerations on the Women's Prison System from an intersectional perspective coming from Angela Davis. It evidences the potentiality of the intersectional concept in the understanding of experiences that affect black women and other marginalized groups. Moreover, this concept of black feminism arises as essential in the discussion of the oppression of gender and race that affect women in prison.
