Lurigancho Prison! By: Desirae Sela
“All those who pass this way leave all hope behind” That's the sign that people in the Peru says should be above the prison doors.
Life in prison: • There are 35 cell mates to one cell. • No beds. • They go to the bathroom on the floor and showers run only once a week, for 15 mins. • They have to PAY or everything. Even food and water. • NO MONEY, NO SURVICE!
Medical Care: • 50% of inmates have Aids or some other kind of disease. • You can die from eating the food. • Medical care is free, but you have to pass every door to get to the clinic.
Money: • Inmates make money by doing different things. • One being cleaning, and doing other “household” chores. • But most inmates give sexual favors to the other, richer inmates. • On visiting days, visitors come in and the inmates have sex at least 40 times a day, just to make money from outsiders.
Fun Facts: (That are not fun) • Lurigancho Prison has room for 1600 inmates. • There are currently over 6000 prisons, not counting the officers. • The inmates are in charge of themselves. They are just not aloud to leave the prison walls. • This means cleaning, bathing, and doing anything else they need, and making their own money.
Consequences: • If a inmate gets caught fighting they get put in their pavilion in thick metal cages. • There is a American prisoner there currently. He has served 18 months of 10 years. • When reporters were there they talked to him for a few moments. This is what he said.. • They get bread and water ONCE a day. • They have NO WHERE to go to the bathroom. • They get NO sunlight. • They are not aloud to see medical care. • This American has blood in his stool. • He will die in prison.
