Friday, October 2nd, 1992 

Chaos has descended in "Carandiru", 

The biggest penitentiry 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 massacre 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)
