Bolsonaro's routine in prison has 144 medical appointments in 39 days, 7 hours of daily sleep and sports programs, report indicates
A report reveals the details of Jair Bolsonaro's routine in prison, including numerous medical appointments, sufficient sleep, and participation in sports activities, leading to a decision against granting him house arrest.
The Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes denied Jair Bolsonaro's request for humanitarian house arrest, citing technical reports detailing his prison routine at the 19th Military Police Battalion. The reports indicated that Bolsonaro received medical attention 144 times within a span of 39 days, averaging nearly four appointments per day. Additionally, he reportedly sleeps around seven hours nightly, engages in sports activities, and completes escorted evening walks, which contributed to Moraesβs decision to reject the house arrest request.
The comprehensive medical report, requested by Moraes from the Federal Police, highlighted various aspects of Bolsonaro's prison life. He indicated a sleep pattern of going to bed around 10 PM and waking up at 5 AM, although he usually rises only at 8 AM. This routine, coupled with adequate medical support and recreational activities, was sufficient for the court to conclude that he does not require house arrest for health reasons. The detailed findings aim to assure that Bolsonaro's rights and well-being are being preserved within the constraints of his imprisonment.
This situation is significant not only for Bolsonaro, who is a controversial political figure in Brazil, but also for the broader implications regarding the treatment of political prisoners. The focus on his prison conditions and reported health care responses highlights the ongoing debates over judicial fairness and humane treatment within the prison system. The decision also reflects the judiciary's stance on political leaders in custody, which could influence future cases and public perceptions of justice in Brazil.
