The last prisoner
"The Last Prisoner" is an intimate portrait of Sir Julio who was incarcerated for over 5 decades in the Devil's Cauldron, a secret island prison and one of Brazil's most violent penitentiaries. When the prison was finally closed in 1994 due to human rights violations, Sir Julio who carried a 300 year sentence, received a conditional pardon due to his old age. But upon release, instead of leaving the island, he decided to spend his remaining years living in the abandoned prison. Selected excerpt below.
