Two dangerous prisoners from the Red Command escape from a maximum security prison in Brazil. It is the first escape in the history of the federal prison system, created in 2006.
The escape puts this maximum security network to the test and represents a serious crisis for the new Minister of Justice and Public Security, Ricardo Lewandowski. Both inmates were transferred four months ago to this super-supervised prison after leading a riot in a prison in Acre that left five inmates dead, three of them decapitated.
