Default 'Hundreds' of inmates flee Brazil jails ahead of coronavirus

A similar event occurred in Italy recently.

Quote:
Hundreds of prisoners broke out of four Brazilian jails on Monday, the day before their day-release privileges were due to be suspended over the coronavirus outbreak, Sao Paulo State prison authorities and local media reported.

The Sao Paulo State prison authority said it could not say how many inmates had escaped as it was "still tallying the exact number of fugitives." Local media reported that as many as 1,000 had fled from four jails - Mongagua', Tremembe', Porto Feliz, and Mirandopolis - ahead of the lockdown.

...Sao Paulo State is home to First Capitol Command, Brazil's most powerful prison gang, which is expanding quickly across the country and in neighboring nations. It traffics guns, drugs, and other contraband.

Brazil's overstuffed prisons often see deadly prison riots between rival gangs.
