Varella (Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos) sucht Carandiru auf, um die Gefangenen über AIDS aufzuklären, das sich zu einer gefährlichen Seuche unter den Insassen zu entwickeln droht. Dabei lernt er zahlreiche Knastbrüder kennen, die ihm auch ihre Hintergründe offenbaren. In Rückblenden schildert der Film einige ihrer Geschichten und porträtiert das komplexe System aus sozialen Regeln, das Carandiru prägt.
