Brazil's Bolsonaro begins 27-year jail term for coup bid

27-year-old Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro has been incarcerated after a failed attempt to overthrow the government.

The former president, who was ousted by his successor Dilma Rousseff in May of this year, was found guilty of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. He will serve out his sentence at an undisclosed location within Brazil's borders.

The ruling marks the end of Bolsonaro's controversial tenure as head of state; a period marred by corruption scandals, human rights abuses, and widespread violence against marginalized groups. It also signals the start of a new era for Brazilian democracy - one that promises accountability and transparency from those in power.

For many observers watching from around the world, today marks an important milestone on Brazil's path towards becoming a more just society where all citizens are treated equally under law. As we move forward into this uncertain future let us remember those who fought hard to get us here; may they rest peacefully knowing their efforts were not in vain.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
