Brazilian authorities are working to prevent further violence in the Natal prison by transferring 220 inmates, members of the Sindicato do Crime gang, to another facility. This move aims to avoid retaliation after the death of 26 gang members. The operation involved a prisoner exchange, with inmates moved to Parnamirim and others taking their place in Alcazuz. The decision sparked protests from inmates' families, who set up fiery barricades. The ongoing drug war has resulted in over 130 deaths in Brazil's overcrowded prison system this year.
