Summary Brazil has now over 800,000 people in jail. Since 2000, the number has increased 167% and has not stopped going up. We already have the third largest prison population in the world, behind only the US and China. If the numbers by themselves are so shocking, imagine now who are the people behind them. The eight episode series I Arrested tell the story of these people. They are men and women, mostly black, with the most varied life histories. They are mothers, fathers and head of families. They are children who got into traffic. Or foreign women who decided to enter in another country carrying drugs, often to feed their own children, but embarked on a one way trip and may spend years and years without seeing them again. To give an idea of a whole system: human dramas. Who are they, where do they come from and how did they end up in jail? A global view of one of the most perverse systems in the world. From the human point of view, a look ate the macro, the logic on an entire system. View more details
