The President recalled that it was in 1995 – during democratic administration Eduardo Free Ruiz-Tagil (1994-2000)-Jail has authority to build. “It is another Chile and there is no justification for that particular right in my perspective,” he said. Then he informed that he had ordered the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, which would lead to Lawyer Jaime Gazardo.
The prison is located in Til Til’s Commune, 44 km from Santiago and most prisoners – 80% of them exceed 80% of them – the intelligence and security agents of the dictatorship of Dinna and CNI, Pinochet Secret. Both organizations are responsible for the death penalty, Disappears And violence, in other crimes against humanity.
Punta Puko is an uncomfortable fine for the left -wing sectors, which have lost freedom of former uniforms in a special rule, that is, inmates who have committed crimes against humanity without joining prisoners for general crimes. When Democratian Free Ruiz-Tagill encouraged his creation, his then Minister of Public Things, Ricardo LagosHe refused to sign the decree that allowed the structure.

Opposition parties have criticized the rebuilding of prison, which was felt that President Burick had gestured for his political arena. According to the Senate President of the National Renewal with Traditional Righteous, Manual Jose Osandon, “More than the action of justice, it seems to be a retaliatory act. I believe it will not help at all, because we are talking about 80 years of pure prisoners, a problem and more internal disintegration 50 years ago.
The Left’s administration not only proposes that it turns into a general prison, but is unable to close it, as Chile also has a criminal population who lives in the security crisis.
In 2013, during his first administration, President Sebastian Pierera (2010-2014, 2018-2022), the traditional right, ordered the closure of the Cardillera Prison, in which they fulfilled the former sentences involved in human rights violations: they had a patho with garden and terrace tables.
