"Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered the transfer of former President Jair Bolsonaro from the federal police headquarters in Brasilia to a prison complex where he will enjoy "more favorable conditions." At the prison, the 70-year-old will have a 54-square-meter (581-square-foot) room with a 10-square-meter outside area that he can access at will. The new cell is much bigger than the 12-square-meter-room he had been in previously. It includes a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room, the court said."
"They said Bolsonaro was being mistreated and not getting adequate medical attention. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes denied the accusations. The judge said Bolsonaro was convicted of extremely serious crimes and that his custodial sentence was not a "hotel stay or a vacation colony." He also said, "There has been a systematic attempt to delegitimize the regular and lawful execution of the custodial sentence of Jair Messias Bolsonaro.""
