The risk that new violent events might break out is ever-present; b) the general situation at the prison has deteriorated and the State’s “loss of control” is the same, which points up a certain “inertia on the State’s part in being able to regain control and ensure [the] basic rights to all persons in danger of being murdered”; c) at Urso Branco Prison, the safety of inmates and guards alike is not being guaranteed; there are too few guards watching the prisoners.
