60% of prisoners are released at a custody hearing in Salvador
“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.

Salvador: two killings in just eight days
Eight days. This is the period of time that separates two episodes of extreme violence in Salvador. On the 11th, two men and a woman were shot dead in the Dois de Julho neighborhood – one survivor was taken to HGE. The victims were drug users and were shot by the occupants of a dark car, in an attack by Comando Vermelho in the Bonde do Maluco area.
On the 19th, five people were executed in Sete de Abril. The massacre was also carried out by a group in a dark-colored vehicle, which fired several shots.
All this killing is each time to impose fear and social panic, an ancient practice of authority, which uses the strategy of extreme violence to achieve some objective, whether through revenge, domination or a form of manifestation of power, when carried out by the State.

The shooting began around 8pm this Tuesday (22) on Rua da Alegria. Houses, businesses and cars were riddled with bullets.
The Military Police were called and, upon arrival, they were met with gunfire. During the second confrontation, one of the factions was arrested.
