Contrary To Popular Belief, You Probably Don't Want To Find Yourself In A Brazilian Prison Fight

Daily Mail – A series of footage showing inmates swinging punches in deadly fights that only stop ‘when the first man faints’ has triggered a promise from authorities that those involved will be punished.  

It is the latest scandal in the Brazilian prison system that has repeatedly been an example of what can happen in penitentiaries that are overcrowded and under-financed. The footage was recently filmed in the Complexo do Curado Jail in the city of Recife – where fights are regularly staged.

I know, I know. The news is just as shocking to me as it is to you. But as it would turn out, going to Brazilian prison isn’t quite the same as going away to adult summer camp. It’s starting to make more and more sense why Ryan Locthe fled that god forsaken country as fast as humanly possible. It’s one thing to get into a prison scrap here in America. I’d have to ask the Brady 4 but I imagine most prison fights here are heavy on the fists and wrestling. But Brazilian Prison Fight Club? Well now you’re dealing with a bunch of savages who think they’re Anderson Silva and trying to kick your face off your skull the first chance they get. Fighting until the first man faints. And I’m guessing that doesn’t include this tubby lard fainting if he hasn’t had a meal in the past few hours.

Looks like even in jail they know to put the tits in center stage before a main event.

And now I’m trapped going down a rabbit hole of Brazilian prison riot videos. Most of them are a little too much to throw in the blog but yeah, crazy shit. Some times you wake up on a Thursday thinking it’s Friday, search the internet for something to get you through the rest of the week and you land on Brazilian prison riots. The internet works in mysterious ways.
