Complexo Penitenciário Anísio Jobim, Correctional facility in Manaus, Brazil.
The Complexo Penitenciário Anísio Jobim spreads across multiple buildings along kilometer 8 of BR-174 highway, housing over 1000 inmates in different security sections.
Established in 1982 during José Lindoso's government, this facility transformed from an agricultural colony into a complete penitentiary complex under Governor Amazonino Mendes in 1999.
The prison bears the name of Manoel Anísio Jobim, a prominent judge who served in the Amazonas court system starting from 1942.
Located on the outskirts of Manaus, the facility operates under different security regimes, from semi-open to maximum security, with designated areas for each category.
The January 2017 incident resulted in the escape of 200 inmates and required substantial security measures involving multiple law enforcement agencies to restore order.
