In januari 2017 vonden er meerdere uitbraken van geweld plaats in Braziliaanse gevangenissen. De rellen ontstonden in Anisio Jobim gevangenis, in de Braziliaanse staat Amazones, tussen rivaliserende gangs de Red Command (CV) en First Capital Command (PCC). In totaal zijn er tijdens het conflict 140 mensen om het leven gekomen.

Gebeurtenissen
gevangenis 1 That riot, which was rooted in a long-standing gang rivalry, came at the beginning of a January marred by widespread prison violence, with 130 prisoners dying in the first 20 days of 2017.

Brazil’s prisons, which suffer endemic violence, are often severely overcrowded. Rights group call prison conditions medieval, with food scarce and cells often so packed inmates have no space to lie down.

In comments on Monday to newspaper Folha de São Paulo, the head of Brazil’s prison guard union, Jorimar Bastos, criticized the amount of resources allocated for oversight at the Goiânia prison, saying only five guards were assigned to watch over 900 prisoners.

gevangenis 2 The riot at the Monte Cristo Agricultural Penitentiary in Boa Vista, Roraima, which broke out at dawn, was reportedly a reaction to the prison uprising and death of around 60 people in the Amazon jungle's Manaus prison on Sunday night.

gevangenis 3 Members of a drug gang started the clash by invading a pavilion in the Alcaçuz prison that housed rivals, officials with Rio Grande do Norte state said in a Sunday news conference in the city of Natal. Forensic investigators will begin identifying the corpses on Monday, they added.
