Taisson Gomes de Souza, one of six prisoners who escaped from the Manoel Neri da Silva Prison in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, has been recaptured after 13 days on the run. He was apprehended by the Special Operations Group on the Border (Gefron) in the Miritizal neighborhood. The arrest followed an extensive search that involved local intelligence gathering, which revealed that escaped inmates were hiding in the area.

On the day of their escape, five other inmates fled, including Anderson Galvão da Silva, who is known to have committed homicide and was recaptured later that same day in a nearby forest. The ongoing efforts to capture all escapees demonstrate the challenges faced by law enforcement in monitoring and securing prison facilities, especially in remote regions of Brazil where escapees may easily find refuge.

The Gefron's actions, supported by coordinated efforts on land and river patrols, highlight the commitment of local authorities to maintaining public safety and accountability within the penal system. The incident raises awareness about the issue of prison escapes in Brazil and the measures being taken by police to ensure that justice is served and the community is protected from potentially dangerous individuals.
