Hello, Not sure if this is the best site for this request but at least this one is in english as that is all that I speak. I desperately need advice/contact with english speaking Brazilian lawyers who can assist my prison penpal who is currently in a US prison. From what I have discovered in the past few years of trying this, the Brazilian legal system is more or less whatever you can afford to pay for and has little to do with any law. I could be wrong but since I get a different answer depending on who I talk to, it seems that way. Very briefly, my friend is a Brazilian citizen who is being held in a US prison under a Venezuelan alias name and nationality. The Brazilian consulate here has identified him as a Brazilian but they seen lost or ineffective as to how to have the US Justice system accept his true identity. It almost seems like the Brazilian consulate is afraid of the US and simply accepts what they say. After years of this, I am trying to get him legal contacts in Brazil who may be able to actually assist him in getting his identity corrected. Any advice would be very much appreciated as the consulates and Brazilian government websites offer no help.
