In Brazil, the prisoners have more “rights”, support and benefits than the workers in the M. E.: http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Saudi-Arabia-Flogs-Jails-Exploited-Foreign-Workers-for-Protest-20170104-0017.html

REF: The Incident:

- The criminals [the prisoners] are being painted by the media as “the poor victims”!
- The Human Rights [& the other organs including the UN] are making a hue & cry on an international scale.
- The Brazilian Govt. will be spending more than R$ 1B to “improve the conditions of the living standards” of the prisoners.

When will these organizations show a similar interest and urgency; to help/assist The Innocent Victims of such criminals? NEVER?

To keep them imprisoned; each prisoner costs more than R$ 3'000 per month. Besides, they have their rights and benefits - including child-care, use of mobile phone and even the 'intimacy-visits'!

Instead of overburdening the Tax-Payers; why can't these criminals be “made to work to pay” for their upkeep while completing their sentences?
