ChileS Maximum Security Prison Opens Doors to Television for the⁤ First Time

Santiago, Chile – For the⁣ first time, a television crew has been granted access​ inside the Special High Security Penitentiary Facility ⁣(REPAS), ⁤Chile’s most secure prison. Meganoticias journalist Constanza Santa María received exclusive access to the facility, wich currently houses 45 inmates, ‌including members of notorious gangs such as Tren de Aragua, Tren del Mar, Los Gallegos, and Los Pulpos.

The ⁢unprecedented access offers a rare glimpse into the country’s response to escalating gang violence and a new era of prison management. ⁤REPAS, designed for⁢ 296 inmates, implements ⁤strict protocols including mandatory uniforms, limited yard time (two hours daily), and 24-hour surveillance within individual cells. The move represents a ⁢important shift in Chilean corrections policy, aiming to curtail ​gang activity and improve security. Visits are⁢ conducted without physical contact, relying on glass partitions and intercom systems for communication between​ inmates and their families.
