Prosecutor Verónica Zamboni has until mid-February to resolve the request for pretrial detention for the ten rugby detainees arrested for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa. However, sources close to the cause say that it would take a resolution much earlier, probably this Monday, which should then be backed by the judge of Villa Gesell Guarantees, Leopoldo Mancinelli. That judicial definition could change the routine that the ten friends share since the arrival at the Dolores prison . A confirmation of the preventive, which is considered safe for at least nine of them, could imply transfer to a new place of detention. Together, or apart.
Alejo Milanesi is the only one who was not recognized by any of the witnesses on the four reconnaissance wheels. The rest, with different roles, were all located in the fatal scene that ended with Fernando dead. Thus, together, they are from the dawn when they returned to the house they rented at the return of Le Brique. So they share their hours in Dolores, in a precise routine .
The rugbiers are located in a city hall between pavilions 9 and 10, exclusively for evangelicals, on the top floor of the prison. They start their day early, between 8 and 8.30, and wait for breakfast to arrive. Cooked mate or hot water , to prepare tea or a powdered milk inside the cell three meters by six where the ten sleep in five bunk beds. Immediately after, the guards take them to clean themselves. Your cell has a toilet, but no shower. That is why they have to walk down a corridor to the showers, which are in pavilion 10. They have to travel a short distance, just about five meters, guarded by a guard in the corridor. They shower alone, as do all other activities in the prison.
After breakfast and bathing, at mid-morning, around 10.30, they have a medical check to confirm that they do not present injuries. They don't go out for this physical exam: the doctor checks them in their cell . The same as the psychologist, who visits them when they request an interview. From the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service they assure that this is not a differential treatment and that the rugbiers have no VIP attention .
Rugbiers detained for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa spend their days in a cell like this.
Lunch arrives early, between 11.30 and 12, and it is also in the cell. They serve rice or noodles stew, stew, noodles with minced meat. If there is no meat, chicken or directly white noodles are cooked. And even if it doesn't happen often, they are sometimes roasted or breaded. Dinner is also ready early and between 18 and 19, the rugbiers have their plate served in the cell. The menu is the same for the entire prison population, and although it is a bit repeated, the midday and evening dishes are never the same. The prison food do not like: have even refused to eat it . They look forward to Thursday, the day they visit, when they receive their relatives and they bring them homemade food.

Thursday is the only day that your routine is disturbed. They last one hour, as for the rest of the prisoners, but at a different time, when the common visits end, in a room with extreme security measures "so that no prisoner is traveling," Clarín could know. As it is said in the jargon, for the visits of the families of the rugbiers they "glue" the rest of the prison population. This means that they are confined to all, precisely, so that no inmate can cross paths with rugbiers or their families.

Outside of this exceptional situation on Thursdays, they spend the whole day in the small space of the cell, like the rest of the inmates of this overcrowded Buenos Aires prison, where today there are more than 800 inmates . They kill time playing cards, chat with each other. They ensure that they remain all united, as a team. They are distressed. During the visit with their relatives this week, they broke down and cried.
Also like the rest of the inmates, they have a leisure time outside the cell. One hour a day, exactly, if the weather accompanies. It is when they are allowed to go out to the patio . It can be morning or afternoon, if it doesn't rain. They choose the turn, the manager of the pavilion opens the door and they leave. They have to walk to the patio, which is a long uncovered space limited by walls eight meters high , which surrounds the pavilions and divides them from the entrance and exit control sector.

On that road, although they have no contact with them, they hear the cries of the other prisoners from their pavilions: "Where are the rugby?" or "When do rugbis (sic) come?" But in the yard, they are alone. To avoid risks, they don't share that schedule with other detainees. Nor are there any guards that are surrounding them: two SPB agents watch them from above , in two checkpoints. In those 60 minutes, they do gymnastics or jog around the patio . In jail there is a rugby team, which is called Los Dragones. But they can't be part of the team.
Maybe they do in another jail if they are transferred. Dolores is a place of temporary detention for them, as the Pinamar police station had been before, and it is estimated that they could go to wait for the oral trial of Campana, Florencio Varela or Melchor Romero, some of the SPB penalties that have units For young men. The decision will depend on the judge of guarantees and the quota available to receive them.
