Paula always surprises us with her great powers of research and synthesis, employed liberally in all her posts. Carandiru is a big, ugly, scar in São Paulo and Brazil history. It shows the ugliest face and the vilest echoes of our long history of police violence and social hatred. It's easy to write a lot about Carandiru. Yet, almost no one cared to write about it anymore in it's 16th anniversary. Did we get used to it, or have we just got bigger personal problems to discuss now? Did we forget and forgive the way the police and Ubiratan acted back then, or are we just too worried about the present to remember the past? Paula Goes did not forget it. And her voice empowered the few other voices that tried to break our silence. Thank you very much for this article, Paula. Best, D.D. Another great article by our dear Paula Goes.

I saw the film a couple years ago and knew it was a true story, but seeing the photos you linked to and realizing that this story has been mostly forgotten in Brazil is tremendously sad. Wow.

Só acho uma pena que o Brasil em geral se tenha esquecido desta data. Talvez porque tenha envolvido a morte de criminosos, não é? Oi Paula..gostei de ler o texto.

Back then, I wasn't aware of the massacre, but after reading (and translating) this post I just can't imagine the horror this must have been. Very shocking, indeed.
