Friday, October 2nd, 1992
Chaos has descended in ‘Carandiru,’ the biggest penitentiary complex in
South America
Over a hundred inmates dead and hundreds injured on the massacre
The police arrived with helicopters and over two hundred armed forces
They took the jailblock called ‘Pavilhao Nove’
And opened fire on the inmates in a holocaust method of annihilation
The government of the city of Sao Paulo
Cannot control the brutality of its police

Holocaust
Body piles
Confrontation
Mutilation

Discipline
Ignorance
Conflagration
Torture

Over eighty percent of the inmates were not sentenced yet
The bodies were filled with bullets and bites from the police dogs
The police try to hide the massacure saying there were only eight deaths

The violence of Brasilian cops is very well known outside of Brasil
This kind of extermination is a method that
They use to get rid of the overpopulation in the jails
The violence of the cops left the whole pavillion destroyed after the
Rebellion

‘Pavilhao Nove’ (Pavilhao 9)
