Candido Mendes prison

The Candido Mendes prison is located in Dois Rios, a village on the island of Ilha Grande in Brazil. The prison was once a major facility, but it is now a museum. The village of Dois Rios is a quiet and tranquil place, with a beautiful beach and a tropical forest. However, the village has a dark history, having been a major site for slavery and later a prison town. The prison was built in the late 19th century, and it was designed to be a self-sufficient community, with the prisoners being responsible for maintaining order and security. Today, the prison is no longer in use, and the village is a popular tourist destination, known for its natural beauty and its historic significance
