Federal court decides to release Adélio from prison in Campo Grande.

The Federal Court has decided to remove Adélio Bispo de Oliveira from the Campo Grande prison, where he has been held in solitary confinement since September 2018, when the event in Juiz de Fora that was decisive for the election of Jair Bolsonaro took place.

The decision was made after psychiatric reports confirmed a worsening of his health condition. 

Adélio is serving a security measure in an establishment with a differentiated disciplinary regime, created for the imprisonment of gang leaders.

The decision to remove Adélio from the prison system was made by the head of the 5th Federal Court of the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, Luiz Augusto Iamassaki Fiorentini, who is also the prison's inspector.

Fiorentini complied with a request from the Federal Public Defender's Office, represented by public defender Welmo Edson Nunes Rodrigues, which was agreed to by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office.

Following the guidelines established by the resolution on anti-asylum policy, and at the request of the Public Defender's Office, Adélio cannot be held in prison or in a forensic psychiatric hospital.

He could receive outpatient treatment while residing at home with his family, but due to the need for rehabilitation, it is most likely that he will be transferred to a hospital bed maintained by the Unified Health System (SUS).

To be close to his family, ideally Adélio should be taken to Montes Claros, in northern Minas Gerais, and not to Juiz de Fora, about 600 kilometers away, where the event took place. 

However, the trial judge may order hospitalization in a public hospital bed, which is quite different from hospitalization in a psychiatric facility.

Free from the isolation and maximum security surveillance of the federal prison, Adélio may feel safe enough to open up to his family.

Sister Maria das Graças Ramos de Oliveira made three visits, two of them virtual. After the in-person visit, which I took her to, Adélio, strangely, refused to receive her again.

Was he being pressured? The prison administration says no, and even presented a document he signed to refuse his sister's visit. 

During the in-person visit, which was recorded by the security system, Adélio became emotional when he heard from his sister that she would never give up on taking him home and caring for him.

The Federal Public Defender's Office also filed a lawsuit with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and is expected to continue the process.

The lawsuit seeks financial redress to ensure that no more individuals deemed legally incompetent are placed in prison, whether federal or state (preventive measures).

The decision by the 5th Federal Court of Campo Grande established a 60-day deadline for the judge of origin (Juiz de Fora) to take all necessary measures.

A few years ago, the Federal Court in Mato Grosso do Sul had already decided to remove Adélio from the Campo Grande prison, but the person responsible for the original action, Bruno Savino, objected, and the case ended up in the higher courts, which decided the conflict of jurisdiction in favor of Juiz de Fora.

This time, Judge Fiorentini conditioned his decision on a statement from the 3rd Federal Court of Juiz de Fora, which no longer has Bruno Savino as its presiding judge.

His successor, Ubirajara Teixeira, remained silent regarding the consultation, which indicates that there will be no appeal, and Adélio will leave prison, almost six years later.

This will be an opportunity for Adélio to freely recount what happened in Juiz de Fora.
