“Police arrest, justice looses”. This criticism is very common among Bahians when it comes to custody hearings, an act that determines that every prisoner caught in the act must be presented to a judge to assess the need to maintain the prison. Data from the State Public Defender’s Office, released this month, among the 2,898 cases analyzed, the most common decision was the granting of provisional release, 57.80% of the total, that is, 1,675 cases.

The decree of preventive detention was applied in 35.99%, corresponding to 1,043 occurrences. Next, relaxed detention was recorded in 5.04% of cases (146), while house arrest was 0.24% (7).

In May of this year, a drug trafficker, who had killed a person and then run over police officers on Avenida Joana Angélica, was released in one of these hearings, a situation that caused outrage among the military, who called for a more rigorous Judiciary, in order to prevent the freedom of who poses a risk to society and the feeling that crime pays.
