Brazzil

1. Brazil bashing is OK, but only if you are a Brazilian living in Brazil
2. US bashing is OK but only if you are an American living in US
3. If you descend into the infernal bickering endemic to Brazzil discussions, you will be officially deemed to be participating in some bizarre mating dance ritual between the two of you. You will be directed to find some discreet motel where the two of you can further your discussions in a more intimate setting.

Thank you for your co-operation.

and discussion rules.

Viloators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

....reinforced :

FOR ALL THE CORRUPTED TO THE ROOTS BRAZILIAN POLITICIANS !

Reality is that there is no law or rules to stop them, and what they do at the end is not even illegal as they are not penalized whatsoever !!!!!!

....laws are made for the poors and the general society....not for those who make the laws and govern the country.

I would say the only people who need to find a motel room are the two faggots who wrote those first 2 posts. Jesus what a couple of cheeseballs!!!

and what about the prison at guantanamo bay?
Would it be a model?
Have you learned anything?

Cheeseball tu madre, cabron.

Brazilians always have to make comparisons to their "peaceful paradise" country with militaries at WAR....what's that tell ya?

Hello!! Guatanamo Bay is a military base, and the prison there houses POW's...that's prisoners of WAR, people from other countries that have participated in war activities against the U.S.

It's not like it's San Quentin...but quite funny you have to compare the "normal" prison system in brazil to Iraqui prisoners who are at war against the U.S.

Tells a lot.

Where big American dykes run around with dildoes at the command of the US govt. Those images were broadcast all over the world so people could see how twisted American people are with lesboes f-cking prisoners with government issued dildoes.

and Abu Gharib is in Iraq!

"and Abu Gharib is in Iraq!"

Does it change something?

"and Abu Gharib is in Iraq!"

Does it change something?

For Brazil's murderers and rapists??


"Brazil: To Free Or Not To Free"


Why do the São Paulo prison authorities let prison inmates out at Christmas? Isn‘t São Paulo dangerous enough without releasing another 10,000 convicted criminals onto the streets for two weeks at Christmas, Easter, carnival, etc?

In previous years, nearly 10% of these prisoners have gone AWOL, rather than voluntarily returning to prison, and many criminals commited further acts of robbery and assault.

There were 45,000 homicides in Brazil last year. I‘m a liberal, and not in favour of cruel and unusual punishments such as the death penalty, but this is too lenient even for me, in a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world.

But anyway, the fact is that 10,000 prisoners were let out to spend two weeks with their families at Christmas this year, and most of them will voluntarily return to prison, having committed no further crimes, which makes me wonder, why do 90% of these prisoners voluntarily return to prison?

After all, life in a Brazilian prison is not a holiday. Brazilian prisons are well known for violence, corruption and riots. They are chronically understaffed, due to strange working practices which mean that prison wardens work only one day in four, with lots of guards on sick leave. So those prison guards who do show up for work are hopelessly outnumbered by the prisoners. The PRISONER TO PRISON guard ratio is around 1:150, which is very LOW by international standards, for a sample compared to an average of 1:19 in Thailand and 1:3 IN THE U.S.

To make things worse, many prison guards are corrupt, and allow prisoners to smuggle in knives and other weapons.

As the head of a São Paulo police facility stated bluntly to Human Rights Watch: "I HAVE ONLY A FEW JAILERS, AND MOST OF THEM ARE CORRUPT. I‘m trying to get rid of the worst two, but it‘s hard to prove corruption. These guys, they make 300-400 reais a month. Prisoners offer them huge amounts of money to bring in electric drills. I have prisoners who inform for me; I FOUDN OUT THAT CELL FOUR IS TRYING TO BUY A SET IF TOOLS FOR $2,000. I‘m trying to implement a new policy requiring that jailers be searched when they enter. The metal detector doesn‘t work . . . . So far we haven‘t found guns, but we‘ve found knives. Prisoners even manage to have pizza delivered from the pizzerias of their choice." (from hrw.org)

With around 150 prisoners per warden, it‘s the prisoners who make the rules on the inside. The few terrified guards watch from a distance, as the prisoners carry out their own summary justice, executing rival gang members with their smuggled weapons, racketeering drugs and "renting" cells to wealthier prisoners. "Give a guard 30 reais and he won‘t care what you do; HE'LL GIVE YOU THE KEY TO SOMEONE ELSE'S CELL." (prisoner interviewed by Human Rights Watch).

Of course it‘s very unusual for a prisoner to be punished for the murder of another prisoner. The Law of Silence ensures that no convict will ever give evidence against another prisoner. It‘s common for key witnesses in political corruption cases to be murdered while on the inside: the Brazilians call this "burning the archive".

Prisons are massively overcrowded, and cells are only available to wealthier prisoners. Prisoners who can‘t afford to "rent" a cell from the prison "authorities" have to sleep in the corridor.

Male and female prisoners are separated, otherwise, it is a big mix: convicted and unconvicted, petty crime and murder, they are all thrown together, without thought of the consequences.

Why don‘t Brazilian prisons have concrete foundations, of the type that are difficult to dig through? There are more convicted felons on the run then there are actually inside, doing time.

It‘s a shame that São Paulo‘s ex mayor, Paulo Maluf, accused of stealing several hundred million dollars from São Paulo‘s public coffers, was released from prison after only a month. During his incarceration, he drew media attention to prison conditions, complaining about the food and lack of exercise. But Maluf received privileged treatment. Regardless of the scale of their crime, university graduates are entitled to special conditions in prison, such as private cells, with ensuite bathrooms and better food. (Reminder to self: I must get my University degree validated, before I do that bank heist).

Over 5000 prisoners escape from Brazilian prisons EACH YEAR, many by digging tunnels. A lot of work goes into this on the inside, and sometimes convicts hire digging gangs to tunnel in from outside. You have to admire their industriousness and energy. Why don‘t they give these guys the job of completing the São Paulo Metro system, which is 30 years behind schedule?

Not everyone gets away though. A couple of years ago, over a hundred prisoners dug through to the sewage system and escaped. A number of them were recaptured, after members of the public noticed their bad smell.

Let's see...income disparity...so we have the best of old and new worlds? Third world cultures, music, relaxation, love of sport, good weather, family, food combined with First world development, malls, restaurants, expensive-looking festivities and concerts...gives birth to nice but cheap apartments, techonologies, concerts, and clothes/food.

The largest LGBT parade on the entire planet?? A huge lgbt community in Bahia and Sao Paolo? And before I thought they had nothing of the sort, were all homophobic Catholics. Now come to find out they even have civil unions.

Let's see...complaints about interracial dating in Sao Paolo... THERE'S INTERRACIAL DATING in SAO PAOLO? I have lived in the US for 13 years and only 2 times have I seen a black woman with a white man. Both times the black woman was very clearly African and the white was very clearly from Europe. Now I know that black women date white men especially Europeans frequently there.

Before all the trash talk I didn't even know Brazil was that great. Now I think it's even BETTER! Thanks for the instafacts about the Brazilian community in Boston not to mention the Bisexual community in Sao Paolo and black women seen with white men. Because before I didn't know there was ANYTHING to do in Sao Paolo and wasn't even planning on going there. Or Boston for that matter.

Cool!! And you suggested that they also have psychotropic drugs there??!! Wow "we must be in heaven mahn". I WOULD HAVE to be in a psych ward not to visit Brazil for at least 6 months! Thanks for the reality check!

I've run into this dyke before. She thinks with her vagina and seems to live on a steady diet of pills and coke . . . Just what Brazil needs!

"She thinks with her vagina "

Are you gay? What is your problem with women?
Can't you satisfy one?

Not sure is a brazilian. Seems to be american.

not sure if can write complete sentences - that seems to be Brazilian!! LOL!

It's true one persons s**t is another persons shinola...but where do you live in the US that you only have only seen 2 black women with white men? I am from the west coast and although it is not common it is not uncommon. Most of my friends have gone out with black chicks.

she lives in a bubble in the Kennedy Space Center.

No I'm telling you this chick has her head buried in muff ALL THE TIME!!!

Houses and cars are not very cheap and not everybody is able to buy it. Nevertheless, loan was created to aid people in such kind of hard situations.
