Bizarre footage shows Alan resting his upper body on a blue chair while fire officers try to free him from the cell wall at the prison in Rio Branco.
His shirtless back, marked by a large demon tattoo, was strained from hanging down over the floor.
It also appears to be injured, with visible grazes and bloody wounds shown in the video.
Officers said they had to be extra careful not to injure his upper body during the drilling process.

Alan attempted to make his escape through the rugged hole while the guards were distracted.
But he appears to have underestimated the size of his escape hole - or his body - soon finding himself stuck waist-deep inside the wall.
After wardens noticed 'strange movement' in the cell on Monday, they called firefighters for help.
Officers carefully extracted the inmate, who was freed unharmed.
A fire department spokesperson said: "According to the inmate's own account, the hole was dug for two days using a nail and a broomstick.
"However, during the escape attempt, he was trapped inside the opening.
"In view of the situation, Criminal Police called the Fire Department to carry out the rescue.

Bumbling 'arsonists' who try to set fire to a house accidentally set their getaway car ablaze as they try to escape
"After thorough work, the rescue team was able to successfully release the victim, who was safely handed over to the Criminal Police team that was already on standby at the scene."
The man was given first aid before being sent back to his cell.
Jail officials have yet to explain how the man obtained the tools or how the large hole in the wall went unnoticed.
It comes as a trio of would-be arsonists accidentally torched their own getaway car.
Security footage from southern Australia shows a clumsy man dousing the front of a house with a liquid - before his escape plan goes up in flames.
Meanwhile, a bungling crew member activated a jet's emergency slide by mistake - putting it out of service and delaying hundreds of passengers.
The gaffe, which took place on a BA flight in January, cost the airline £100,000.

One of Putin's cannibal soldiers 'killed comrade to eat him for two week'
One of Vladimir Putin's troops may have eaten his comrade before being killed himself on the frontline in Ukraine, it is claimed. A recording released on Telegram by Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) suggests that a soldier – with call sign 'Brelok' -lived off his fellow's remains for two weeks. The victim, 'Foma', was reported missing by his Russian command, but it was later discovered that the cannibal had killed him for food. A Russian commander from a reconnaissance unit from 68th Motorized Rifle Division can be heard detailing the horrors one of his subordinates. He says: 'Nobody ran away. Brelok took him out and then ate him for two f**king weeks.' The cannibalism is alleged to have happened near the villages of Zapadne and Lyman Pershyi, in the eastern region of Kharkiv. The intercepted speaker adds that the cannibal was later discovered dead himself. The commander is heard saying: 'They say he was a 200 (military slang for a killed soldier), f**k. 'Well, he ate his comrade, so that's something to think about.' Ukrainian intelligence agencies have repeatedly intercepted calls that highlight extreme psychological stress, infighting, and disregard for human life among Russian troops. More Trending Previous recordings released by HUR and its 'I Want to Live' project have documented executions, looting, and troops begging to surrender. A mass recruitment of Russian prisoners started in the summer of 2022 -led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, once the head of the Wagner private paramilitary group. Prisoners were offered a clean record, full pardon and allowed to go home after six months on the battlefield, even if they were convicted of some of the most violent crimes, like murder and rape. This is how multiple jailed cannibals were reportedly pardoned by Russian authorities and released to fight on the frontline.
