Prison System
Hi, this shows up in a set of prison records for a Brazilian court. Here's the sentence minus the confidential information:
"ATESTAMOS, para os devidos fins, que a sentenciaca (...) matricula no. (...), filha de (...) Execucao Criminal (...) da Vara de Execucoes Criminais da Comarca de São Paulo/SP mantém um ÓTIMO comportamento carcerário."
The part following the phrase is a number, the rest are names. As you can see it appears twice in this phrase, the second time in plural. It also appears later in the document as part of a table, simply with "execução" and the same number as above.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is also referred to as "penal execution", so the second instance (Vara de Execuções Penais) could be translated as "Penal Execution Court".
