A World Cup stadium being built in the isolated Brazilian state of Amazonas may not become a white elephant after all.
A judge in the area is proposing it be turned into a prisoner processing center after next year's world soccer showcase tournament.
Brazil is readying 12 stadiums for the World Cup, and several - including the new stadium in Manaus - will be little used after the event.
