According to him, the cost reduction will be announced officially in the coming days. G1 contacted the Secretariat for Public Security and Prison Administration for further details.

"The same company, the same contract, renegotiation and identical quality." So we see that the money has been badly spent. Junior also discussed the situation of prisoners in police stations in Paraná as a major security challenge. He said that there were currently more than 10,000 prisoners in these places.

The governor also defended to open the prison administration to private initiative.

"Fifty percent of US prisons are already run by private companies, without removing state guardianship, but management itself is needed to move to private initiative," he explained.

Ratinho also said that currently, a prisoner in Brazil costs an average of $ 1.2,000, while in the world, the amount spent is $ 1,000.

"We do not manage money well and treat prisoners in a non-human way, who live practically perched in prisons," he said. [ad_2]
