Comment posted on Disturbing photos from Brazilian Prison by Luis Vedolin
I’m also Brazilian.
I agree with col.smith; all should be equal under the laws (but when you are a victim, you tend to think in instant “vendetta”).
Personally I think that as long as we are concerned in punishment, instead of solving the real problem (education, in a ample context), this will continue to happen here.
Our colonial-exploratory cultural origins, the take all you can from others (“be smarter, the other are ‘dumb’”) way of thinking is the cause of our problems. People still prefer not to look at the poor children of today, rather to cast them away of society tomorrow.
If the society continue doing the same things, they will have the same results.

Chances an American is in prison: 1 in 140
Chances a Brazilian is in prison: 1 in 590
I’m brazilian. I’m not proud of the prison conditions in my country. But in a Maquiavelic way it should be like this. Human rights for kidnappers, rapers, drug dealers and murderes? I don’t think so. Prison must be hell, that way you think twice before doing something ilegal.
I’m a brasilian too…I think it is still little, there should be such as Texas, death penalty enough for this bunch of rapist thieves, bandits, robbers, drug addicts, if I were God for a day, ended with this bunch of bastards
human rights, serve only to humans, and these guys are in cages, because they are animals, not humans, are worse than animals because animals only kill for if food, they kill to see you down!

The rights you complain about are there to protect YOU! The law can not choose who has rights and who does not. These rights must apply to everyone or they mean NOTHING!
The rights of the accused are there so that the police can not just lock you up because they don’t like the look of you. It is frightening to me to think I could end up in a place like that just because I got caught up in a police raid of a disco somewhere and before I can get myself out I am beaten, raped and then murdered.

Wake up to one word : rehabilitation
If you point the finger at these guys, remember there’s three fingers pointing back at you.
Our destinies are inseparable and the worst crime perpetrated by any one of us, serves to diminish the stature of us all. Show some compassion and recognise that these are people too, no matter how abused they have been.
If you want to call these guys ‘animal’ then go and take a good long look in the mirror : it takes one to know one.

How can the wealthy and powerful of any place on earth force imprisonment on people in this way.I feel so horrible to see just those photos.That kind of abuse can never result in deterrence.
To Lagan: I say,just because those prisoners are treated like animals doesnt make them animals.
