CHECK OUT MISS CRIMINAL 2015 PRISON BEAUTY CONTEST - PAGENT FOR FEMALE PRISONERS

The annual Miss Criminal 2015 beauty pageant was held at the Talavera Bruce women’s prison in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This year's winner was Michelle Neri Rangel, 27. She has been behind bars since 2010, when she was sentenced to 39 years for robbery - with an additional six years added on for prostitution inside the prison. Wow!

The jail, inside the sprawling Bangu penitentiary centre, is Brazil's only maximum security prison for women and holds the country's most serious female offenders.

They are females too, although locked up, they are being given a chance to a healthy contest.
