Nice gig, even if it is prison

According to the Bayou Renaissanceman, Brazilian prisons don't work quite the same way as they do in the US:

"With a plasma TV, a DVD player, 280,000 reais ($172,000) in cash, gym equipment, two refrigerators, and a couple of guns, Genilson Lino da Silva had everything he needed for a luxurious life in his Brazilian prison cell. It came to an end on Monday when his cell, which also contained a king-sized bed, was raided in a police operation against drug traffickers in the northern city of Salvador. "He was alone in all that comfort. It wasn't very big but the other cells had several prisoners in them," a spokesman for Bahian state authorities said on Tuesday. Officials said Da Silva, also known by his nickname "Leg," was serving time as the biggest drug trafficker in Bahia state. He was reported as saying the money in his cell was from old robberies and gambling in prison. 'We will investigate if the leaders of the prison were conniving in this', Paulo Gomes, a state prosecutor, told reporters."

Rico says if the leaders of the prison were in on the deal? If they weren't, they were missing the boat...
