Summary

In Brazil, this specific prison is known as the “real dungeons.” Because once you get in - you feel like you’re trapped in hell until they let you out. That is - if you can even get out alive. BBC reporters are there to interview one of the most high profile prisoners. Every single prisoner in there has been deemed a dangerous criminal - this one even more so. She walks out. Thin frame. Short blonde hair. She used to be a model in NYC and was reported to have dated Leonardo DiCaprio. What is she doing in here? “Why are you in here?” - they ask her. “They say I can control people minds. Change their brains.” - she responds. “Can you?” “What do you think? Can I? I hope so… when I get out you will see the power that I have and if it is real or not.” “Is that a threat” Did the prisoner just threaten the BBC reporters? This is the case of Kat Torres - the Brazilian Instagram “influencer” with over 1 million followers that has been charged with human trafficking and slavery charges.

1:29.7	They're saying that she is a danger to society because she can change people's minds with her words. She can, whoo, turn their brains around. Well, can you? Can I? You tell me. Can I? I hope I can. She claims that she has been unjustly placed into this prison with real criminals.
1:34.9	She does not belong here. This is an injustice. But when she gets up at the end of the interview,
1:40.7	she looks at the two interviewers from the BBC and says, later you will find out whether I have power or not. I'm sorry, what? Is that a threat?
1:45.8	She smiles.
1:47.1	I don't like this one.
