Overview

• Prime Video schedules the five-episode season for release on October 31, with availability overnight in Brazil between 0h and 4h (Brasília time).
• The drama blends fiction with real events inside Tremembé, the São Paulo complex that concentrates high-profile inmates, a policy adopted after Carandiru’s closure.
• Marina Ruy Barbosa headlines as Suzane von Richthofen and is credited as an associate producer, following pre-release events and interviews in Salvador.
• Legal specialists cite STF ruling ADI 4.815 to affirm the legitimacy of works on matters of public interest while noting courts can block or redirect any gains linked to crimes.
• Psychological experts warn against glamorization and call for nuanced portrayals of female offenders, as the cast depicts figures such as Elize Matsunaga, Anna Carolina Jatobá and the inmate known as Sandrão.
