There are a lot of trans women in the movie, and they are portrayed with a lot of grace and humanity.

Na história de um dos detentos, mostra a cena do rapaz perseguindo outras pessoas para matar.
Na hora do massacre, os policiais perseguiram os detentos quando eles tentavam fugir, entrando até dentro das celas para matá-los.

A man shoots his wife in front of their son, who was in the backseat of the car. There are a lot of fights and arguments in front of kids, but the children themselves are not targeted.

Majestade describes biting into a rat's neck to get it off his finger and some cats have scenes on a brazilian jail so it's not the most hygienic place on earth. also police dogs and horses on "duty".

Não é utilizado fogo para queimar, mas sim água quente. Um detento estava dormindo enquanto o outro jogou água quente nele, que apenas gritou de dor. Na cena seguinte, os demais detentos dizem que ele morreu

i would argue that yes because 1) the living conditions on the jail are ruthless and 2) one of the cops shoots a inmate on his hand, the cops make the inmates sit on the floor naked for days, force them to carry the bodies of other inmates and do a lot of psychological torture on them.

Opposite of copaganda. The director of the prison is kind sometimes but the main thing is how cops performed a brutal massacre against the inmates.

altought it is not specified if Lady Di's character identifies as a trans woman, she uses she/her while mentioning herself and other inmates refer to her as a woman too. she gets deadnamed and misgendered by her mother and father.

Not very explicit. Sex scenes are not that long, nudity is often just butts and there is not a lot of moaning. There are frequent conversations about sex between prisoners, mostly because the doctor asks them about it.

It is about a massacre, so... a lot of people die in the third act. But (SPOILER) most of the characters we get to know during the movie survive it.
