Talk about prison overcrowding – 170 inmates crammed into a jail with a capacity of just 28 inmates. Apparently the Brazilian Supreme Court is not concerned about prison overcrowding like the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the inmates crammed into the Barreiras jail did not need a Governor Moonbeam alignment program. They took care of the overcrowding problem themselves.

EIGHTY-TWO prisoners, most of them serving sentences for murder, robbery and drug trafficking, escaped from a prison in northeastern Brazil.
The inmates escaped on Friday through a hole in the roof of a building at the Barreiras jail in Bahia state, city police chief Joaquim Rodrigues said.
"It was raining heavily at the time, and none of the guards heard a strange noise," he said. Authorities were alerted after locals saw many men running in disarray from the jail.
The prison has a capacity of just 28 inmates, but some 170 men had been crammed in the jail, according to local media.
According to a city official, none of the escaped prisoners had yet been recaptured.
