translated from Spanish: National mobilization in prisons calls for greater consideration of new requirements for parole

There are almost 5000 internally held mobilized in various prisons in the country, asking that the new requirements of the amendment made to decree Law 321, which governs the requirements for applying for parole, only be applied to those who have entered the prison after the date on which the legal amendment, which occurred last January, was made official. The changes in the system establish that all those who apply to the benefit must have impeccable conduct, a psychosocial application report prepared by a gendarmerie team, and have served half the sentence. In addition, in cases of being prosecuted for felonies, such as homicides in any form, rape or robbery with violence, they must meet two thirds of the sentence before applying for the benefit. According to what was reported by Radio Universidad de Chile, César Pizarro, of the organization 81 reasons, which safeguards the defense of the human rights of the deprived of liberty, said they hope that this protest will be adding more inmates little by little. ” It is a peaceful mobilization to speak in front of this and say yes we want to work, if we want to reintegrate, if we want the opportunity, but they have to give it, because the law changed and left me more prisoner. ” Pizarro also criticized the fact that “the government announces the project + R, that we must give more opportunities, which must be reinserted, that we must work with crime. A political discourse is given but, on the other hand, we are changed by the law and each time we are left more prisoners and provoke more situations of violence, they alienate the people more in the prison with treatments of dependent drugs. On the one hand we say something to the citizens and to the country and, on the other hand, we increase the problem with hard drugs in prisons, with imprisonment, with fewer benefits, and no more is invested in issues of work, reintegration and education. ” The leader added in that line that “they are not preventing the application of the law, but to apply it rigorously, to be applied since the promulgation (…) When the person is deprived of liberty they sing the rules of the game and tell you you are condemned by these laws and by these articles and you will be able to postulate at this time, but it happens that then they think to amend the law and tell another story. ” For the time being they participate in the protest deprived of freedom of the prisons of Hill I, Hill II, the ex penitentiary, Puerto Montt and Valdivia, who are not doing work or days of studies within their respective penals, waiting for the authorities Come closer to check your situation.
