The director of the National Office to Support the Penitentiary Reform (ONPRE), Roberto Santana, today warned the mafias that operate in the penitentiary system that with the new model, ends its action in the seclusion centers.
Santana said that in the country there are interests that live from the irregularities of the penitentiary system and gave as an example, the case of the parables irregularly installed in the La Victoria prison, that of the optical fibers and that of the tragedy of the 13 dead in that penitentiary center, of what he said, no report has been given.
“It is important that these mafias understand that their time was over. The hitmen of the networks that have dedicated themselves to discrediting the new penitentiary reform, that they dedicate themselves to something else,” said the official.
Value of the inmate
The director of Usapre said that in the traditional prison system the life of an inmate is not worth a penny because there are no controls or protocols and that, in the reformed, they are truly safe.
He considered that the new scheme constitutes a guarantee for inmates, for the family.
PGR
Santana said that the Attorney General’s Office has fatigued its development with the envelope of functions, many of them, which should not be within its competence, to the point that around half of its staff is penitentiary.
He insisted that the penitentiary administration be taken from the PGR, because that institution is saturated with functions and cannot be investigating, chasing, litigating and rehabilitating those deprived of liberty.
He said it is not possible for the prison system to be led by four institutions: the Police, the Army, the Attorney General’s Office and what has to do with minors the Ministry of Public Health.
“I do not understand how a penitentiary system must be directed by four institutions,” he added.
Interviewed this morning in the program Hoy, which is broadcast by Color Vision, Channel 9 and by Super 7, the official reported that the victory staff will not go to the Parras prison.
For the new penitentiary complex, 500 agents who have been specialized to treat inmates and to eradicate the mafia that has operated in the victory, he clarified.
He recognized the support that the Attorney General of the Republic has offered, Yeni Berenice Reynoso, to the new Penitentiary Reform System.
