Peru Declares Emergency In Prison System
February 23, 2012 by Andean Air Mail & PERUVIAN TIMES

Peru’s government has declared an emergency in the penitentiary system, in an attempt to improve security conditions in the country’s notorious prisons.
 ::snipping2::
The measure follows the escape earlier this week of 17 inmates from the maximum security Challapalca prison, located in the highlands of Tacna in southern Peru. Authorities announced on Wednesday that all of the fugitives were captured.

Peru’s prisons are notorious for their lack of security and overcrowding.  A December report by Peru’s ombudsman, the Defensoria del Pueblo, found that there were about 48,000 inmates in the prison system, which has the infrastructure for only 28,000 people.  Corruption is rife, with prisoners able to access even mobile phones and weapons at a price, while the slow judiciary process results in many inmates spending several years in prison before even being sentenced.

Google translation

There are currently more than 50 000 inmates in 66 prisons in the country
Friday, February 24, 2012 | 7:35 a.m.

Measure. The government declared an emergency yesterday in the National Penitentiary System. Report of the Ombudsman indicated that overcrowding and lack of budget are the most serious problems.

Oscar Flores

The escape of 17 prisoners of Challapalca Sunday 19 February demonstrates the insecurity and corruption that exists in the prisons of our country. The prisoners escaped from the Bolivian border, seven of them were captured three days later, after a hellish shooting. An inmate died in the crossfire. The 17 stars of this scandalous leak paid more than $ 50 000 Inpe agents to leave the prison through the front door.

That is why the government declared emergency yesterday in the National Penitentiary System until December 31, 2012, to give urgent and exceptional measures to improve security conditions in the prisons.

Thank you, Janet and Red, for bringing the "Running for Justice" for Natalee Holloway, 5K Run/Walk for the NHRC event to our attention. 


Hi Grace

 

It is raining today in Martinez but tomorrow will bring clear skies for the run.  I have a good feeling that the NHRC's first fundraising is going to be a huge success.  My DIL, daughter, 10 year old granddaughter and I raised pledges/donation from respective church and family members/friends.  We will run (I will walk briskly) along the banks of the muddy Fraser River.  A lunch will follow.  Where?  I don't know but ... if I don't have to cook ... who cares.

I hope your day is good.

Janet

Holloway warns teens about travel dangers

Posted: February 24, 2012 - 4:40pm

By Donnie Fetter

Columbia County Bureau Chief

The mother of a famed disappearance victim warned Augusta Preparatory Day School students Friday about the dangers of overseas travel.

“One thing I will do is carry her story for the rest of my life,” Beth Holloway said of Natalee Holloway in a video clip she played prior to a speech to the Martinez private school’s high school students.

Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005 during a graduation trip to Aruba with classmates from Mountain Brook High School in Alabama.

The main suspect in her disappearance, Dutch citizen Joran Van der Sloot, twice was arrested and questioned by Aruban authorities, but never charged.

Last month, Van der Sloot plead guilty in Peru to murdering 21-year-old businesswoman Stephany Flores on May 30, 2010, the fifth anniversary of Natalee’s disappearance. He was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

Van der Sloot also faces a wire fraud charge in Alabama after he tried to bribe Beth Holloway to tell her the whereabouts of Natalee’s body.

The day after Van der Sloot’s guilty plea in Peru, an Alabama judge declared Natalee dead at the request of her father, Dave Holloway. Beth Holloway opposed the declaration.

Holloway said Friday she believes Van der Sloot “kidnapped and murdered” her daughter by overdosing her drink with a date rape drug at a seaside nightclub the night before she was scheduled to return home.

Immediately following Natalee’s disappearance, Holloway said she traveled to Aruba and followed any lead given her. With little help from local authorities, Holloway said she even visited crack houses and brothels looking for her daughter.

“The panic I was trying to suppress was beginning to take hold,” she said after four days of searching.

During her ordeal, Holloway said she learned that American tourists often are targeted by criminals. Men and women, especially teens, visiting Aruba are lured to crack houses, drugged and robbed.

Often, Holloway said, tourists are held against their will until their credit cards are maxed out and then released.

To help future teen travelers to overseas destinations, Holloway founded Mayday360.com. The site offers information on electronic travel storage, a list of U.S. embassies and consulates, locations to get medical and legal assistance, an emergency help line, a beacon application for smartphones, and more.

Also, Holloway warned that travelers should activate international calling on cell phones before leaving, keep travel itineraries secret, don’t overindulge in alcohol, never leave a drink unattended, be aware of surroundings, and make a plan with friends to meet up at a specific spot at a specific time before leaving any location.

“You are your own best protection,” Holloway said.

Thank you Scared Monkeys for posting this!!! I’ve been following your site since June of 2005 and sometimes its is a bit of a downer that there is so little about Natalee. I know that is because the trail is now cold and there is little news.

The sporter has moved on to his new home and the rest of them got away with their crimes – but God knows! Let us never forget the injustice done to this young lady and her family by both the perps and a corrupt justice system on the island of Aruba. Let us remind them every chance we get. Let us remember the good things said of a young lady with a promising future, and pray for the continued healing of her family’s wounds.

So if I understand those articles correctly, one of the dead men had been "based" on the island for more than two years, and the other "unofficially" has a child there.

Wonder if Benjamin Aguirre Castro was any relation to Poentje Castro?

IIRC there was mention after Poentje's murder of relative(s) being involved in drug trafficking and the question of if that may have been the reason he was murdered.

Hi Milie, I heard these rumors too of a shootout between the men in the car and police. Alot of rumor when it first happened. I think that's what happens with too many people reporting the news.
My neighbor who works for aduana told us today what you have heard. The "perps' didn't have weapons in the car, BUT the vehicle involved was being watched by police in an ongoing police sting of some kind. (Drugs) and involved USDA as well. My neighbor also heard these guys had borrowed the car, and perhaps, in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think time will tell.
