He fought the law and the law won.
Two months after receiving a 27-year sentence for trying to “annihilate” Brazil’s democratic institutions, former president Jair Bolsonaro finally looks jail-bound.
The convicted coup-monger – who has been living under house arrest in his mansion while a series of legal procedures and appeals play out – is widely expected to be incarcerated in the coming days, amid growing speculation that he will be sent to a notorious maximum security prison.
During Bolsonaro’s four-decade political career, the far-right former paratrooper showed little compassion for Brazil’s prison population.
“Why should we give those dirtbags a good life?” he once mused. “They should just get fucked, full-fucking-stop. That’s what I reckon.”
On another occasion, Bolsonaro proclaimed: “If you don’t want to end up there, all you have to do is not rape, kidnap or rob.”
