Inside Brazil's Biggest Prison Beauty Pageant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2016
- Brazil, known for its beautiful beaches and beautiful people, is home to the biggest pageants in the world. Each year, Miss World, Miss Universe, and Miss Earth are crowned in the country. And at the Penitenciaria Feminina da Capital in Sao Paolo-South America's largest all-female maximum security prison-so is Miss Max.
Unlike traditional pageants, the contestants competing for the title of Miss Max are currently serving long sentences for crimes like drug trafficking, kidnapping, and even homicide. They are, however, judged using the standard pageant criteria: beauty, poise, and talent-plus their record of good behavior. This year, LGBTQ inmates can also vie for the title of Mr. Congeniality.
We travel to Sao Paolo, Brazil, to capture the days of preparation leading up to the crowning of Miss Max, which includes runway training from a professional choreographer and a day of hair and makeup courtesy of some of Brazil's best stylists. We also talk with the incarcerated contestants about how a beauty competition can help them temporarily escape the monotony of their lives behind bars.

Love it when vice sends a reporter who actually speaks the language of the place they're visiting
yesssssss. I'd love to travel and do interviews and speak there language. I'm currently learning Spanish for about 2 years now and I plan on continuing to learn Korean. it makes you more qualified to be able to go to these diff countries for a job

This is probably the most honest pageant in the nation or the world. cause all other pageants are paid for by rich wealthy people.
true
Sujo Taveras TRUMP
I imagine this was still paid for by rich people (they hired celebrity judges, makeup artists, a creative director, paid for a stage to be set up - that's big money) but it's evident that the gov't in Brazil cares much more for its inmates than the US.
♥
i truly wish this was the reality, this video shows only that specific prison. the government couldn't care less about anything other than stealing money from the population. i just found out about this video and i'm so impressed that these things actually even happen here. most prisons are overpopulated, in horrible conditions, with 15 people in cells meant for 5. while this video shows the reality of that prison, it might give the wrong impression that they're all, or mostly, like that, when they're really not :/
I love how a prison understands more about diversity than actual fashion show and beauty pageant
I love that they actually bring in like professionals and important people for this. They didn't just hand them some time in the cafeteria and say go at it yourselves, the prison actually put work into it. And the mister thing was super cool. But that statement about how many women are in prison for love makes me really sad
At least they understand and don't treat it like something worse than it is
this is what modelling should look like, different races, different body types, different sexualities and different heights
Excatly!!!
agree
Exactly
Keshia K that's right :)

Interesting....kind of good for morale..we are all only human... They are still women..good for self esteem....
So they made some bad decisions..they are serving their time. Humans are born to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect.
Dawn Hodges I cried when they crowned Falida
Same. My bf and I watch documentaries before bedtime.
There's another documentary available on RUclips called "Sunday Beauty Queen" about a pageant in Hong Kong for domestic helpers.
I'm surprised they're in a maximum security prison, given their offenses appear to be mostly non-violent drug related.
drug related means gang related most of the time. Also it's Brazil, Prison ain't no fun here.
@@nickdouglas736 Sure, but were most of these women gang members, directly involved in gang activities, or just moving drugs out of financial desperation one time?
@@LorenzoNW I'm afraid that the motives don't matter in those cases. If you get caught you're fucked.
It also has to do with their social status before getting arrested. Most of the time, rich, white women who come from influent families do not get the same jail time and punishments as women that come from poor families and/or are a part of a racial and sexual minority when caught with drugs.
The actual maximum security prisions are federal facilities located in the middle of nowhere. Those are the ones dangerous criminals go to. Our prision system is similiar to the US. People go to jail for ridiculoud, victimless drug charges, that most of the time are to blame on the their economic status that forces them into to dealing to et some money, and not on them. We have overcrowded prisions that target mostly black and brown people or immigrants. It's a shame.
i thought this was gonna be weird but it actually turned out really sweet and meaningful
me toooo
thank you President Obama
President Obama more prisons should be like this
Uhhhhhhhh....Mr. ah President...uh... what are you doing here?😵😵😵🤪🤪😬🤯
What a lovely reporter! She even gave them kisses on the cheek through the fence towards the end. She really treated them like ladies and not just inmates.
Bc they are just ladies that made one decision that changed their life. It could easily be me or you.
In Brazil we kiss and hug a lot, even people they don't know or just met, thats why she kissed them, is culture
Joyti Singh She’s the best of all of them beautiful .
Above everything else Joyti these are people, people like you and I.
This might just be the most positive prison program I have ever seen. Unless they're all faking it, they seem truly excited, encouraged, and most importantly happy by doing this. Good on you Brazil. Stay awesome. I can only hope that here in the States, where we have an obscene amount of incarcerated people, that we get it together the way they have here.
Addendum: I'm not saying this prison is perfect, because I'm sure there's some bad stuff we didn't see in this video. Jail is jail after all. But this was a really positive and beautiful thing.
this should be on netflix, literally one of the best documentaries i’ve ever watched wow 😩

It's crazy that so many of them are suitcase-trafficking related. Long sentencing for non-violent drug related crimes never made sense to me
If someone in Brazil ask you to pick up a suitcase now you know what to do.
That poor lady with the child who had a complication, just goes to show how far a mother goes to ensure her child's health
Renata Valentina wtf? why
I don't think so. There's no way to know for sure but her body language makes me believe she is telling the truth. Also the love between her and her mom shows that she is a selfless person who would do something like that for her child.
MakeupNerd it's kinda like some animals in the wild. The end goal is still survival
No judgement, probably would do the same to help my child.
@@monkiram and the fact that she told the authorities the truth about her suitcases right away shows that she's telling the truth.

How old are you? How many docs ya aeen? The statement isn't true. I don't care what they do to your generation, but there are things in the world that happened before you were probably born and they're trying to flip over the information now on the Next Generation and I simply ain't going to have it. That's all there is to it. Now I have a list of over 15,000 documentaries. Which some never even made it out of their own countries And make this chick in her little.

just imagine how much fun would fashion shows be if they were all these inclusive
This was beautiful. I cried the whole way through. God bless whoever thought of implementing this in Brazil. I'm sure it's made some impact to these women's lives as inmates. Hope to becoming the women they want to become post sentence

And this, my friends, is the real miss UNIVERSE!
With lots of diversity in color, gender, body size and beauty. I love this kind! I never knew they had this in prison. Made the ladies feel beautiful while being deprived of freedom.
I cried...hard... for the woman from Africa. 7 years and no family to visit 😢
Bela T.T that stood out to me as well we need to get her some justice
@Bela T.T BRAZIL IS A RACIST COUNTRY, BUT PEOPLE ARE MISSED WITH THE BRAZIL LAW MAINLY INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKING. MY BRITISH FRIEND IS PRISONED IN BRAZIL FOR THE SAME CRIME AND HE IS WHITE AND HAS MONEY EVEN THIS HAS BEEN PROSPECTED 2 YEARS AGO. HE WILL STAY THERE FOR 5 MORE YEARS TRAFFICKING CRIME IN BRAZIL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COLOR OF THE PERSON.
@Bela T.T AND MORE SHE WILL FULFILL HALF OF HER SENTENCE THAT WILL BE 3 YEARS AND HALF THE REST SHE FULFILLS IN FREEDOM .BE SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
3 more years now :) less than half way
One is National the other is international trafficking, the punishment is VERY different, I’m not saying that this doesn’t happen because it does but it’s not the case
Mother and daughter's reunion brought tears to my eyes, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a touching story, I hope all these lovely ladies find happiness.
Yes! I cried over they beautiful reunion.
+Ella i cried like a little bitch
+Christine Amber sameee xD
as soon as she started calling her name I was crying uncontrollably
Omg me too, the mom looked so proud
I wanted to see more of Clementina. I hope she is well... It's been four years... I hope that she has gotten to go home early perhaps.
probably yes, sher got 7 years cause it was international drug traffic. domestic drug traffic gives you 3 years at most. but with good behaviour it can cut down to 3 years if she agrees to go back to her country.... so she probably left in 3 years
the braided hair "Mister" god, TAKE ME
Same with me, sis
Same sissss
Right 😭😩
26:07 you're welcome
I KNOW RIGHT
This was so amazing to watch. Often in prison the inmates are made to feel like they're not even human , and watching these women have a sudden boost of self-esteem is really heart-warming
Marla Nicole They should feel horrible if they're in prison. They are too nice to these women.
Marla Nicole rude.try to atleast have empathy for them
Kennedy Walker I do a little bit of course because everyone makes mistakes but... This isn't fair. While some other women out there who did horrible things because the world was so unkind to them are being executed or sitting in real prison, these women just get no punishment for their actions. I forget what her name was but there was a serial killer and she was a prostitute, that already tells you life is very hard and degrading for her. She would kill a lot of men that were unlucky enough to find her and there must be a reason. She hated men, was sexually abused at a young age and she was still being used as an adult. She was in prison and then executed and I think she was hurting inside more than all of these women, I think she also cried.
Marla Nicole I understand all you are saying just reading your comment hurts me but I honestly do not agree that when someone was raped or in any other form sexually molested that you would turn to the same thing that hurts you. I was molested and I don't prostitute myself. Actually I hate men and i dont find sex exciting i actually would prefer being a man. so dont blame what happened to you in your pass for what you eventually become. what i strongly believe is that you the individual that was hurt should deal with the issue and let others know about what you went through and pray pray and cry cry and hope for the best
So sorry about the older lady :'( 7 years..
Me too, I wish she could have won, because she doesn't have any family in Brazil!!!
+Beth_9 Beth_9 I agree, I feel like she deserved to win the most, it would have been something to cheer her up.

Hahajajajajajajha
Why not?
Damn that's a nice prison.
Like, seriously, it's way better than what I've seen of American prisons.
Please...you have no idea what the prison system is like in Brazil. If you would like the english version, go rent a movie called Carandiru. They responded to a riot by going in and slaughtering everyone. And why wouldn't the prisoners riot? They were stacked in cells like library books and diseases such as HIV/AIDS ran rampant without even doing an easy thing like giving them condoms. Brazil's prisons are a cesspool of violence and human rights abuses. I found it ironic that this prison is also located in Carandiru.
Trust me, they showed you what they wanted you to see.
...
I completely forgot about that
I'm brazilian and I work at the prision system. Caradiru is a male prision, you CAN'T compare a male and a female prision in brasil. male system is ugly, smells death, but female is better and cleaner
Tony Flamingo but that's a much lighter prison
I worked as a nurse in prison, for 1 year ! All the inmates want is to be treated like humans. Giving these ladies the chance to feel beautiful, and to be regular girls at least for 1 night does more than you can ever imagine! It gives them hope, and the strength to keep going! Xoxoxooxo
WHO OR WHAT WAS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR?
Musa Yobabydaddy you mean THEIR victims?
People go to prison for various reasons, and most of these girls are there for smuggling drugs if you saw the entire video.
I am not justifying their bad actions and what got them there in the first place. However, I do believe that if you make a mistake you pay for it, and have all the right to rectify those mistakes and live a decent life. I am no one to judge, nor am I excusing the reason why they ended up there. Everyone deserves a second chance in life, even if you pay lifetime in prison you can rectify your mistakes and positively impact society within the prison system.
i like how they actually treat the like human beings and not dogs
I agree.
They Treat them with such love and care.
Compare to other places.
yeah I'm from Brazil and that's not the majority, so it made me happy
I'm not a fan of pageants, but this is the first time I see pageants in prison. BRAVO brazil 👏 This is the best thing they can do to women in prison self-esteem is so important, they are giving them hope 👏

"There's no ugly woman, there's only mistreated woman"
HAHAHAHA the absolute state of alternative reality some people operate on. Victim mentality. If they're "mistreated" someone else has to be the oppressor, and if the woman are mistreated, by implication it had to be the men "mistreating" them. MINDBLOWING, the level of poisonous psychological manipulation these convicted criminals still cling to after their life outside to the point of denying reality to avoid taking responsibility of their own actions like any mentally healthy adult. Let's hope they get psychologically reformed before the end of their sentences otherwise these predatorial manipulative woman will end up ruining their lives again or any man they associate themselves with.

The choreographer's way of thinking is so admirable and I wish there were more people like him! People who are shocked by all of this happening in a prison need to remember their humanity, and imagine how rehabilitating positive activities like this can be
I really liked this. I have a Justice degree (criminology major), so it was interesting to me how this pageant is used as a form of both mental health program of sorts and rehabilitation. Women in prison are most often inmates as a result of being a victim of abuse (physical, mental, sexual) and more often than not just need to regain their confidence, so they don't fall back into it after release.
Thank you for sharing!

‘The beauty in another woman isn’t the absence of your own’ I LOVE THE DIVERSITY, THIS IS WHAT BEAUTY IS!!! 💕
Well done, lovely story! The day after broke my heart the most, when their normal is the prison colors of beige and white but they had a glimpse of what a good life can be for them if they stay strong and positive, this program is admirable in itself, women are the nurtures of beauty and Brazilian women shine no matter where they are. Thank you for this.

Sempre é engraçado traduzir, né? A cultura do EUA e do Brasil são muito diferente não importa o idioma
"Fogão? Aquele que esquenta o rabo?"
"Stove? That one used for cooking?"
Anyone else think that people shouldn't be given long sentences for trafficking if they only attempted to traffic drugs because of the desperate situation they were in?
but how can they prove that they did it out of circumstance?
I agree with you, living in a third world´s economic situation where there are just no job opportunities but you have to fulfill the same necessities as everyone else is tough..
Unfortunately if there wasn't the threat of long sentences more people would do it :(
The sad thing is the people that cost society the most money through insurance fraud, bank constructions and all other monetary scams never get caught and if they do they only get a lighter sentence especially as 'first time offenders' even though they've been stealing other people's money for almost a lifetime.
I bet that if you would give all these women some of that fraud money and say: you can make a better life for yourself with this check, they would start companies employing other people and especially women in the same position whilst taking great care of their families. I would put my hand in a fire pit for that.
+Alex N how exactly are they dangerous? They aren't violent criminals.
This would only happen outside of America. God bless Brazil for considering to do anything that even dares to allow a prisoner to feel human. In America, where our prisons are privatized for profit, we like to them full no matter how frivolous the charges and keep those prisoners caged forever. What a breath of fresh air this documentary was.
Well, I can not talk about prisons in US because I don't know enough about that system in your country. It is not that 'cool' here in Brazil too. Anyway, this is a female prision, so I really believe that, by nature, it tends to offer a different environment. It may also vary from prison to prison, state, city and so on.
This is for women. Think they'd do something similiar for men? Doubt it. Besides, prison isn't supposed to be easy or comfortable. It's prison. People need an incentive to NOT GO TO prison.
Unfortunately this documentary shows an exception to the rule. I was very glad to see this kind of environment in a Brazilian prison. I also think that a female prison is very different from the male ones. Those are usually crowded, and offer little to no chance of rehabilitation for the inmates. They are just tossed there.
And this does not serve as "an incentive to NOT GO TO prison" as @EyeLoveTheStars mentioned below. Most of them come back after commiting even bigger crimes then the ones that got there the first time, often after being tied up with gangs inside the prisons.
This has been the most heart warming mini doco Ive watched in so long, i'm crying for these beautiful humans xx
Im portuguese and i get everything they are saying but i still catch myself reading the subtitles
Mariana Aragão hahaha I did too...
Mariana Aragão same
Mariana Aragão como são as prisoes em Portugal ?
me toooooo oh my god
Mariana Aragão eu também kkkkk
When she said "i love you, mom" (28:25) i felt it in my bones
Love for one's mother is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Lol
This literally made me cry ..! The type of content I wish reach more and more people.
The saddest part is knowing that the guy who was running for president had his helicopter busted with 40kg of cocaine and nothing happened to him while these women had to pay a bitter price.
Life is full with beautiful, talented and brave women, they deserve a chance to embrace it ❤️🙏🏻
+Emna Bieber let me guess its was the mans fault ?
+ ADZ01982 Life is beautiful.. you conclude its the mans fault. Round of applause for this Doyle please.

LONE WOLF SPIRIT I LOVE YOUR COMMENT
The most positive beauty contest story I've seen in a while
"Fogão? Aquele que tem fogo no rabo?"
Sub: Like a cooking stove?
💀💀💀
When a maximum security prison seems less depressing than highschool.
That chick with the cornrows looks badass
ikr
She's so cute to me. Lol
Cornrows on women (full ones) always look badass. Have you seen female MMA fighters?! A lot of them wear cornrows because they don't come out easily if you get punched in the head.
she's hella cute. I'd date her.
yea had me questioning myself for a moment lol
feel bad for falida. too many people in there for the wrong reasons.
Brazil is amazing no matter what 🇧🇷
THIS is reporting. I have so much respect for this documentary, and for those who put this on in BRAZIL. I love Brazil for this. The humanity in this event, in their prisons, the reporting, the prisoners is incredibly beautiful, inspiring and educating. It had me in tears with the mother who came all the way from the amazons, and the humanity of the guards and the director of the pageant working with the women. Countries around the world, especially my own, the US, need to take A LOT from this example of how to rehabilitate people from mistakes and prison, usually due to POVERTY. We and our governments need to do more to protect women as well as all people from turning to crime as a way to survive. It is not their fault alone. These women are so beautiful, so intelligent and are so deserving of this and more. May we all seek ways to enact this in society, programs and opportunities like this, including legislation that HUMANIZES and rehabilitates peoples in prison rather than capitalizing on it and creating a cyclical nature to offenses so that people never escape its system and design. More Humanity everywhere.
I was sad when I saw the look on clemintines face when she didn't win I wanted her to win😣
tiana me to
I'm not crying. I just stubbed my toe. Naija and her mother is just so moving. I loved the mature woman so much too
This is awesome! I swear, America doesn’t even treat their inmates like human beings. They would never do something even REMOTELY close to this!
I love how far most countries have come and accepting LBTQ person. Many years before our time people that was LBTQ could be killed or worse. I'm so PROUD that people is more more accepting of LBTQ people then our people before us.
... lgbtq**
Thats not the case 100%
Quit EXAGGERATING! No one is killing someone for being gay unless they trick someone!
