Ronaldo Gaspar dos Santos had reportedly been sent to the punishment cells of Pavilion Four, the so-called dungeon, two weeks before the visit of the Special Rapporteur (24 August 2000), allegedly for not having opened the door to a guard.

After an hour or so of discussions, the director acknowledged that he had in fact been transferred to the State High Security Prison of Carandiru complex, where the Special Rapporteur immediately visited him. According to the information received, on the night of 22/23 August, he, and two other detainees had been taken out of the punishment cell and taken to Pavilion Five, where he was allegedly forced to sign a paper accepting his transfer to this pavilion where the so-called seguros are detained.
