Elle Holland Current event #15

At least two inmates were found dead after prisoners of Brazil's Piraquara State Penitentiary blasted a hole through the wall of the prison and exchanged gunfire with the police early on sunday morning. 28 prisoners escaped the penitentiary, which is in the Curitiba region of southern Brazil. the two who were found dead were found alongside expensive weaponry and a tent filled with food and drinks that was used by theme who provided cover for the escape. Brazil has the fourth-largest prison population in the world with more than 622,000 in jail.

I think if brazils prisoners are not being watched over enough to where they could easily escape they need to get a better grip on their security. Maybe arrest people for serious crimes and less for frivolous rule breaking in order to watch the actual bad people more carefully so they can keep the country safer.

  1. I can't believe this happened! I agree that they should have better security. I hope this doesn't happen again.

  2. This is crazy! You would think they would have better security at a prison. The escape of some prisoners can put many people in danger. I hope everyone stays safe.

  3. This makes me wonder if the system of law is fair, or if their people just break the law a lot. Either way this situation can be fixed by either getting better security or reevaluating their legal system.
