The first riot, which was an extended one, started Monday morning and went into the afternoon hours on Tuesday. The riot lasted 27 long hours.
There were possibly more then 15 of the prisoners killed during this riot. There were prison officials that were retained while other prisoners talked with police but none of the officials were harmed. They were set free later.
Then also on Tuesday, another riot was started in another building of the prison. This was a shorter riot due to officials regaining control quickly.
Some of the reasons behind the riots are, prisoners are upset with the person in charge of the prison, Luis Henrique. They would like to see a replacement for him.
Another reason they are upset is about the water that supplies the prison. The water was already being looked into.
Then they are also upset about how long it takes them to get their cases to be processed causing many to be in the prison longer then they should be. They are upset with the slow judicial system.
