The May 4, 2004 brief and its attachments, wherein the State filed its sixth report on compliance with the provisional measures that the Court required of it in its previous Order. Summarizing, in that report the State informed the Court that: a) concerning the uprising that occurred in April 2004, routine at the prison was disrupted when on April 16, 2004 two inmates were “murdered by rivals”; in the wake of those two killings, a prison uprising broke out on Sunday April 18, 2004, and relatives “refused to leave the prison.” The victims were identified as Jailson Quintino de Lima and Israel Márcio Soares, who were serving their sentences in separate cells. Concerning the measures taken in response to the uprising, the State reported that by the time it received notification of the Court’s April 22, 2004 Order, it had already taken all the measures necessary to bring the uprising to an end. During the riot, some 160 prisoners threatened with death were removed from the “safe” area and taken to an administrative area beyond reach of the rioting inmates, so as to protect their lives and physical safety. All the deaths that happened in the prison during the riot were caused by blows inflicted by “rivals” wielding “hand-made weapons.” The riot ended on April 22, 2004, and at around 4:00 p.m. a negotiations document was drawn up and signed by the “new cabinet” and a commission composed of five inmates and three visitors (the State attached a copy of this document). At 8:00 p.m. on April 22, 2004, all visitors were allowed to leave. As agreed in the negotiations document, that same night 30 inmates were transferred from the Urso Branco Prison to Porto Velho’s Eighth Police Precinct. The following day the Director of the National Prisons Department (DEPEN) went to the prison to continue with verification of the damage caused and with the military police investigation.
