Prisons Belo Monte Schools Racism

Governed by the detainees themselves, the
prisioners at APAC, organizes everything
that happens in prison. By delegating tasks
and supervising their implementation,
they are responsible for organizing the
schedules of different activities, workshops
and talks, as well as for cleaning,
maintaining, and controlling key access
to the entire building, including their own
cells. The internees lock themselves in at
22:00, while from the outside of the cells
one of them keeps all the keys, looking
after the whole group. Strangely enough,
just as the experience of APAC advances,
laying foundations for great changes in
Brazilian prisons, we are faced with strong
pressure by the privatized prisons, in which
internees are submitted to a radical routine
