About: use funds recovered from embezzlement to finance prison construction

Flavio Bolsonaro: If we build 500,000 places in Brazilian prisons, if you do a rough calculation — if I'm not mistaken it was 700 reais per square meter, something like that — I did a calculation to give an estimate.

Flavio Bolsonaro: With approximately 35 million, you can build those places.

Just to give you an idea, just what the Federal Police estimate was diverted... in the Lava Jato investigation, is 42 billion.

Flavio Bolsonaro: You can build those prisons and still have 7 billion left for you to use to train these people, to give them an alternative so they leave the life of crime at some point, so they professionalize, become literate, and so on.

Flavio Bolsonaro: Those who want to leave the life of crime must also have a path to follow.
