Former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was sentenced to 27 years for attempting to ‘annihilate’ Brazil’s democratic institutions, is now facing the prospect of being sent to prison. Bolsonaro, who has been under house arrest in his mansion, is expected to be incarcerated soon. Despite his past lack of compassion for prisoners, his potential imprisonment in a maximum security prison has caused dismay among his allies. Even his severe health issues resulting from a previous attack are being cited as reasons why he should not be sent to Papuda maximum security prison in Brasília.
