Little time left for Paraguay's biggest prison - Fox News Latino
Little time left for Paraguay's biggest prison - Fox News Latino: "This capital's Tacumbu prison, Paraguay's biggest and one of the most overcrowded in Latin America, has little time left following an announcement that it will soon be closed and its population of more than 3,000 inmates moved to other penal facilities.
Tacumbu, frequently denounced for prisoner abuse and subhuman conditions, will become no more than a sinister part of the nation's history when the expansion of the Emboscada jail, 65 kilometers (40 miles) north of Asuncion, is completed.
'We're stepping up our project of penitentiary reforms in 2011 with works that will put an end to the sadly notorious operations at Tacumbu,' Justice Minister Humberto Blasco said Monday.
Blasco spoke of the reforms upon leaving an meeting with President Fernando Lugo, where it was decided to close down the obsolete jail once and for all."
