On August 29, the Movement of Mothers of Disappeared Children of Rio de Janeiro was launched. At the launching, Leonardo accused the government of omission. She announced that she intends to open a court case requesting the Procurator General of Justice in Rio de Janeiro, Antonio Carlos Biscaia to intervene in this question and will ask him to bring a case against the government for omission. Apart from the 8 girls who have disappeared, seven were raped and killed and a further 11 managed to escape. Here the conditions are at least as bad as in most of the adult prisons in Brazil.
Conditions are precarious - the youth eat for example seated on the ground and with their hands.
The building is badly kept - foul smells prevail. 7 youth sleep in each cubicle - the older members in the two beds in the cubicle, the remainder on the floor often without mattresses or blankets. Attempt escapes are constant. The functionaries who work there are on very low salaries and few have been prepared to work with youth offenders. Beatings are common and educational programs are totally inadequate for the juvenile prisoners.
