The new prison must be reassessed in short order

he Attorney General Luis Corderospeaking at the Congress in Valparaiso, Re-evaluate options for the Santiago 1 extension, located on Pedro Monte Avenue near the Execution Site, After President Borrick began studying “better alternatives” to build a new maximum-security prison facility.

Faced with this new situation, the Minister clarified that “The administration is open to alternatives, but in the short term, due to the urgency and looming crisis we face. The only place where projects to address prison issues can be undertaken is in the Pedro Monte region.”

“The administration has looked in all possible places, but in Tir Tir, for example, there is no water,” That is why the Secretary of State insisted that any alternative to the original plan must be implemented in the short term.

This, because “The levels of overcrowding and overcrowding not only put the people in there at risk, but it is also an extremely serious safety issue. “We are on the brink of a prison crisis,” He added.

“The idea that we can continue to increase sentences without increasing prison populations, continue to send people to prison, and believe that people can continue to gather in prison facilities, is irresponsible,” Cordero continued.

“That is why the executive is using all the means at its disposal to advance this issue. Either we expand prison space in the short term, or we will face the dilemma that President Piñera had to face in 2010, which was to have a general amnesty law and make conditional freedom more flexible. I believe that to enter this dilemma is to enter a critical dilemma,” Cordero concluded.
