Brazil Fund visits IDDD in São Paulo

The IDDD (Institute in Defense of the Right to Defense) project supported by the Brazil Human Rights Fund aims to reduce the abusive use of provisional detainment (pre-trial custody) in the state of São Paulo. Legal assistance is offered to help with specific cases. The visit, in May, was from Taciana Gouveia and Ana Carolina Henriques, from the foundation’s projects team, and focused on the challenges encountered during the in-prison collective legal assistance program executed by IDDD at the Provisional Detainment Center I in Guarulhos, greater São Paulo. This project is supported through a partnership between the Fund and the OAK Foundation.
