Not content with such a show of violence, they took prison officers hostage, set fire to the furniture and smashed rooms up with metal poles.
Police Captain Ricardo Pinto has explained that the riot at the prison in the southern city of Cascavel was an ongoing affair amid negotiations over better conditions.
As per reports given by Captain Pinto, the revolt at the 928 bed jail began before sunrise when a prison guard was captured during breakfast. Dozens of the prisoners climbed onto the roof of the building – their faces were covered with white fabric to avoid recognition.
Images captured by the local media showed at least 30 rebellious inmates shouting while they beat men held with ropes around their necks, or whose hands were tied behind them.
The reason for the riots appeared to be related to demand for better food and medical care in the prison. Or, as Captain Pinto feels, it could have been related to the recent convictions of two prisoners.
