According to CNJ data from 2018, the city’s penal colony is one of 4 model women’s prisons in Brazil, but there are records of overcrowding
Digital influencer Deolane Bezerra was arrested on Wednesday (September 4, 2024) during an operation by the Pernambuco Civil Police station. Her preventive detention was maintained by the Pernambuco Court during a custody hearing held this Thursday (September 5, 2024).
Deolane will be held at the Bom Pastor Women’s Penal Colony, as will her mother, Solange Bezerra, who was also arrested in the operation.
The mega-operation, called “Integration“, targeted a criminal organization specialized in illegal gambling and money laundering. Seap-PE (Ressocialização de Pernambuco) reported that Deolane Bezerra will be held in a reserved cell for security reasons, as she is a well-known figure with more than 20 million followers on Instagram.
GOOD SHEPHERD COLONY
The Recife Women’s Penal Colony, located in the Iputinga neighborhood, west of Recife, holds provisional prisoners. They go there after presenting themselves at police stations. In 2014, the OAB Pernambuco visited the prison and registered problems of overcrowding inside the cells. According to the local authority, Bom Pastor housed 897 women at the time, a number three times greater than its capacity (up to 270 inmates).
The OAB also reported that, during the visit, many complaints were heard and cases were heard in which women reported mistreatment, hygiene problems and also problems with the food.
After 4 years, the CNJ (National Council of Justice) published a search in 2018, which classified Bom Pastor as one of the 4 model women’s prison units in Brazil. The survey took into account good practices in serving women, especially in relation to imprisoned and breastfeeding mothers.
In 2022, the CNJ released a new report about prisons in the state of Pernambuco. The survey found that Bom Pastor had, at the time, an occupancy rate of 190%. In total, there were 542 inmates, divided into 3 pavilions and 45 cells. The prison offers 285 places. The Recife Women’s Penal Colony was opened in 1945, being the 2nd oldest in the Pernambuco prison system.
DEOLANE ARRESTED
The influencer was arrested on Wednesday (September 4) in a mega-operation against a criminal organization specialized in illegal gambling and money laundering. Seap-PE (Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration and Reintegration of Social Security of Pernambuco) reported that she will be held in a reserved cell to ensure her safety.
In the operation, luxury goods such as cars, real estate, planes and boats were seized, in addition to the freezing of financial assets. Here is the full of the process (PDF – 26 MB).
