The authorities of the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service set off the alarms and began an investigation after a video clip recorded by the inmates of the 33 Los Hornos prison went viral, with the participation of prison staff, as part of a choreography contest in the prison units.
The video, which transcended on social networks, shows a group of women performing the song "Muévelo" by Nicky Jam and Daddy Yankee in the prison facilities.
What is controversial and that generated outrage in some users is
the participation of prison staff
in the middle of the choreography, which is the subject of investigation by the authorities.
Although the video is part of a contest organized by the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service within the framework of "a resocialization plan for inmates", the researchers are trying to establish who gave the women permission to use
a car, a drone and part of
the jail facilities that would be prohibited for such purposes.
In total, 84 inmates from ten penitentiary units participated in the contest.
In the case of Los Hornos, as the order was not complied with and they also included SPB employees, they were disqualified.
The inmates used a car as part of the choreography.
According to the newspaper
El Día
, the authorities
do not rule out sanctioning the prison guards
who participated in the production, directly and indirectly.
In this Los Hornos jail, located at 149 and 70 Bis, many pregnant and sick women who live with their babies or young children went on a hunger strike last May, amidst the controversy over home prisons due to the coronavirus.
As explained by the criminal lawyer Rosana Locasciola at the time, there are 188 women, of whom three were pregnant and 17 live with children.
Within the establishment there is a primary school and a secondary school.
And through an Agreement with the National University of La Plata, detainees can study Law, Sociology and Journalism careers.
