Security Minister Patricia Bullrich announced a new protocol for high-risk prisoners. The measure seeks greater security measures in prisons, greater decentralization in surveillance and decision-making over prisoners.
Visitors, communications with the outside world and temporary exits will be more closely monitored. The protocol follows guidelines from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and came into effect last Friday, when it was communicated in the Official Gazette. It is focused on prisoners who have the resources to escape, run businesses or order crimes to be committed.
