Brazilian officials said Tuesday that as many as 29 inmates blamed for killing rampages in several prisons would be transferred to stricter federal facilities, after two days of unrest left 55 prisoners dead and authorities rushing to prevent the violence from spreading.
In the Manaus complex, an emergency security protocol was activated, and within 45 minutes the situation was under control, local authorities said. Still, 15 inmates were killed, either asphyxiated or slain with hand-crafted arms such as sharpened toothbrushes. As the officers advanced, inmates “were killing people, choking them inside their cells," said Col. Vinicius Almeida, who leads the state prison office.
Her son does not appear on the list of victims, but Costa Soares wants reassurance of her son's well-being after the riots."They have not told us anything."
