Estação Carandiru ("Carandiru Station") is a 1999 novel-memoir by Brazilian physician and AIDS specialist Drauzio Varella. The story is based on Varella's time as a physician volunteering at Carandiru Penitentiary in São Paulo from 1989 up to the 1992 massacre which left 111 inmates dead, but is made up of fictionalized incidents and characters. The book, first in a trilogy, was followed by Carcereiros ("Jailers") in 2012 which chronicles prison life based on testimony of prison officials. Prisioneiras ("[Female] Prisoners"), about the women's prison in São Paulo, will end the trilogy.
