"I think they are going to kill a lot of people here. Everything is strange right now. If I die, I just want to say that I love you all. Honey, everything is strange here."
That was the last text message that inmate Abel Paulino de Sousa sent to his wife on January 5. The state government says that, on that same night, criminal organization PCC killed 33 men in Penitenciária Agrícola de Monte Cristo prison, in Boa Vista, Roraima.
Sousa was buried on Sunday, January 8, on the day we would turn 25 years old. Like Sousa, five other men died without having been convicted in a court of law. They were in jail after they received arrest warrants that could still be revoked.
Folha found the investigation on Sousa's case. Without any previous sentences or jail time in Roraima, Sousa had arrived at the jail one month before his death.
