The Lurigancho Prison, one of the most notorious penitentiary centers in the capitalcurrently houses Andrés Hurtado, better known as Chibolin The presenter, who once captured the attention of thousands on television, now faces a different reality behind bars, serving 18 months of preventive detention for investigations related to influence peddling and money laundering. An exclusive series of photographs obtained by Panorama reveals details of day-to-day life in Pavilion 5, the prison sector known for its alarming level of overcrowding of non-convicted people.
It has approximately 850 inmates and three floors. The entrance door to the pavilion, always guarded by agents of the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE), gives way to a world that few wish to explore. Although the photographs do not allow us to see the inmates directly, the atmosphere suggests constant surveillance and control. In another of the images captured, you can see the communal dining room where, on a visiting day, some inmates share moments with family and friends. Curiously, to date, Hurtado has not received visits, a situation that contrasts strongly with his previous social life, widely documented in the media and social networks.
Hurtado’s cell is located on the second floor of Pavilion 5, shared with three other inmates. Far from the cameras and stages, “Chibolín” now faces the harsh realities of prison life, in an environment that has little to do with the luxury and comfort to which he was accustomed.
