Footage has emerged from inside a women's prison shows bikini-clad inmates partying - while appearing to snort cocaine.

The mobile phone clip was captured by one of the prisoners serving time at Curado prison complex in Recife, north eastern Brazil.

One dark-haired woman laughs as she sniffs what appears to be cocaine from a bowl before passing it to a friend on a bunk bed.

Other shots show a woman wearing gold jewellery, while dozens more inmates in hot pants stand around chatting, dancing, drinking beer and even posing for selfies - with no sign of guards.

The footage sparked outrage online after being handed to local blogger Carlos de Silva who shared it in his Facebook group.

He said: 'This is the Brazil of shame. The women were having a party inside a correctional facility. There was a lot of beer, marijuana and cocaine.

'They had the right to take selfies and just about anything else they wanted to. It's an insult to all the hard-working women who have to stay at home and work and look after their children.

'And it's all paid for by the taxpayer. It's disgraceful. Prison should not be a party like this.

'The person who gave it to me did not want me to say who they were. There could be big problems for them.'

Brazilians reacted with fury after the clip was posted online.

Celmo Ferreira said: 'Unfortunately, it is a prison, where you eat well all funded by those of us who work every day to afford this party.'

Allyda Ferreira: 'The people here are working to sustain that bunch of bums.'

Angela Franca said: 'All of them have their nails made, watches, new hair cuts and everything else... while we work up at the crack of dawn with dark outside the house.. and not even time to get ready.

'Yet they're having a good life in their, maybe I want to be stuck too.'
