Overview
- Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the transfer to Papuda’s Papudinha sector, placing Jair Bolsonaro in a “sala de Estado Mayor” reserved for authorities with exclusive use and full isolation from other inmates.
- Court documents specify 24-hour medical support, access to his private doctors, extended visiting periods, physiotherapy equipment, unrestricted outdoor exercise and sun exposure, and a special diet delivered by a defense-appointed person.
- The Supreme Court described the facility as offering more favorable conditions and criticized what it called attempts to undermine the lawful enforcement of the sentence.
- Bolsonaro had been held since late November in a specially adapted room at Federal Police headquarters in Brasília and twice left custody for medical care, including hernia surgery and tests after a fall.
- The former president is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a plot to remain in power after the 2022 election, a conviction initially served under house arrest before the court ordered incarceration and later denied renewed requests for home confinement.
