WARNING - DISTRESSING CONTENT: Prosecutors have launched an investigation after disturbing videos show inmates being shot with stun guns as they cower half-naked in a prison yard
Inmates are stripped bare and tortured by guards in horrifying footage that has surfaced from inside a brutal prison.
Prosecutors in Brazil have launched an investigation after disturbing videos show inmates being shot with stun guns as they cower half-naked in a prison yard.
Brazil’s prisons are notoriously overcrowded and understaffed, fuelling inhumane treatment and torture of inmates.
In the footage, a large group of inmates sit on the floor as armed guards appear to taser them and hit them.
Some prisoners are forced by guards to lie on the ground as they are stripped.
