In a recent incident at the Presidente Bernardes penitentiary in São Paulo, Brazil, two women, both aged 23, were arrested for attempting to bring illegal drugs into the facility during a visit to inmates. The women were caught after a body scanner identified the hidden substances, which were concealed in their bras. Initially, one of the women denied carrying any drugs, but eventually both confessed to the attempt, admitting that they planned to deliver the drugs to incarcerated individuals.

Authorities seized approximately 600 grams of drugs, consisting of marijuana and cocaine. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by correctional facilities in combating drug smuggling, particularly during visitation times. The presence of a young child during this incident raises additional concerns about the safety and well-being of minors in such precarious situations.

Both women were charged with drug trafficking and were taken into custody by local police, who recorded the case at the Presidente Bernardes police station. This event underscores the pressing issues surrounding drug trafficking in Brazil and the desperate measures that some individuals may take to smuggle narcotics into prisons, potentially endangering their own children in the process.
