My random wikipedia-ing has officially creeped the living shit out of me.
It started off with reading about Season 3 of Prison Break which is mainly set in the Federal Penitentiary of Sona. This prison is based on a real-life prison that used to exist in Sao Paolo called the Carandiru Penitentiary, which was the site of the Carandiru Massacre.
A massacre, you say? Coooool, let me read more about it!
It took place on Friday, October 2, 1992.. The day I was born.
