  The Primeiro Comando do Capital (PCC) is a Sao Paulo prison gang that since the 1990s has expanded into the most powerful criminal network in Brazil. Karina Biondi's rich ethnography of the PCC is uniquely informed by her insider-outsider status. Available for the first time in English, Biondi's riveting portrait of the PCC illuminates how the organisation operates inside and outside of prison.
