Carandiru A.D.
Der Vorfall in Carandiru hat die Menschen derart aufgewuehlt, dass sich auch die brasilianischen Metaller von Sepultura Gedanken gemacht und einen Song darueber geschrieben haben. Er heisst “Manifest” und ist auf dem Album Chaos A.D. (1993) zu finden. Hier die Lyrics:
Chaos has descended in “Carandiru”.
the biggest penitentiary complex in
South America
Over a hundred inmates dead and
hundreds injured on the massacre
The police arrived with helicopters
and over two hundred armed forces
They took the jailblock called
“Pavilhao Nove”
and opened fire on the
inmates in a holocaust, method of
annihilation. The government of the city
of Sao Paulo cannot control
the brutality of it’s police
Holocaust, Body Piles
Confrontation, Mutilation
Discipline, Ignorance
Conflagration, Torture
Over eighty percent of the inmates were
not sentenced yet. The bodies were filled
with bullets and bites from the police dogs
The police try to hide the massacre saying
there were only eight deaths
The violence of Brasilian cops is very well
known outside of Brasil, This kind of
extermination is a method that they use to
get rid of the overpopulation in the jails
The violence of the cops left the whole
pavillion destroyed after the rebellion
