Behind Bars: São Luís Female Prison, Brazil | World’s Toughest Prisons | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

The São Luis prison complex on the outskirts of the capital houses the region's most dangerous criminals. Among its nine facilities is a high-security women's prison with 300 inmates, most convicted of murder, robbery, or drug trafficking. Keitiane, 36, has spent 12 years in a 14-square-meter cell shared with eight women. Convicted of murder, she learned to read and write in prison and now works in the bakery, hoping to continue this profession after her release. New inmate Maria Eduarda, a sales clerk accused of kidnapping, faces a daunting first-time prison experience. Though the law requires her case to be heard within 30 days, chronic court backlogs often mean months of waiting. The prison also has a wing for pregnant women and mothers with children under two, currently housing five women, all convicted of drug- or gang-related crimes.

Love these World’s Toughest Prisons documentaries 😍Thank you.🙏

[@Amy-x5k9v]

The fact that we get free documentaries on KZbin by Free Documentary is truly a gift; keeping education and knowledge alive. 👏🙏🏾🤷

[@Cocytus]

Good Comment and well said as I concur with Free Documentary providing good Documentary Content that is from what I've seen has been Unbiased and sticks to the Facts. I do want to just say just as a Warning for anyone who may be reading. While having access to Documentaries at no cost to us is great, there are a large amount of Free Documentaries that are very Biased and One-Sided and Avoiding the Facts, so these are not really Education but more so Indoctrination. So we all just need to be very careful and selective with the Documentaries we choose to watch in this new era of Free Documentary access.

[@QYgod]

@Gocaps888 maybe she had something to hide, something very private to her, don't mean she was guilty for what they arrested her for

[@Gocaps888]

@QYgod she had something to hide that's very private to her she wouldn't have lost the SD card . Nor does a criminal go around looking for SD cards in people's houses to use in their phones to commit crimes. Because only way your logic makes sense is that she took the SD card out of her phone herself and hid it somewhere in her house because it had something private on it to her which makes absolutely no sense. I don't know one person that has an SD card with something private on it where they take it out and hide the SD card. You transfer the files to something else. Everything is on backup. The SD card she had did have something private on it her committing the crime and part of a kidnapping, that she was associated with. Because she didn't do the kidnapping herself some men did it she was part of it. I'm 45 years old and spent all my twenties in jail around people who were never guilty who were actually very guilty including myself. Them tracing the SD card back to her means they have a lot of information. More information than just the SD card belonged to her. Criminals doing a kidnapping buy burner phones . They don't use their own phones except she did and they got her because she wasn't very bright to be committing a kidnapping. probably because she's never actually committed a kidnapping. The cops can literally get all kinds of information like recordings number she called and a lot of criminals that show up in jail failed to mention half the story. Guarantee there's not just an SD card there's recordings there's people that's identified her video footage every criminal that's innocent when telling their story leaves out about nine facts out of 10.
