I found a message which talks about an escape from the Sao Paulo Penitentiary on Sunday afternoon. After the attempted escape six Brazilian prisoners were suffocated in a sewer. A spokesman for the state Security Secretariat said that 87 inmates fled the penitentiary around 2 p.m. through a series of sewage pipes and tunnels. The police recaptured 13 fugitives in a house 500 metres away where a tunnel had been dug to meet up with the sewers. He said that the prisoners knew the sewage system well. There were confirmed six dead, and another seven prisoners are suspected to have died in the labyrinth of pipes around the prison after losing their way, bringing the total estimated number of dead to 13. Authorities were digging to find the dead prisoners that they believe to be entombed in the pipes. It is a shame the Brazilian's penitentiaries.
